Gain experience in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and using an AED. Learn how to perform proper first aid treatment.

Audio Visual Room

Disaster prevention films and disaster prevention cartoons are shown.

VR Disaster Section

The VR (virtual reality) system produces simulated disasters – earthquakes, fires and typhoons. Come and enrich your experience!
* The Ikebukuro Center has only the head-mounted display (with no motion sheet provided).

Earthquake Simulation Section

The facility was reopened on March 11, 2012. In addition to the new Great East Japan Earthquake and long-period ground motion experiences, you can experience simulations of five types of earthquakes. You can also learn about what actions you need to take in the event of an earthquake. Furthermore, the facility features exhibitions of measures to prevent the overturning, falling and movement of furniture.

Smoke Maze Section

Learn about the properties of smoke and experience an evacuation that involves searching for exits in smoky conditions.
What should you do if you are inside a building surrounded by smoke? Participate in a simulation.

Fire Fighting Training Section

Try a firefighting simulation experience with realistic flames projected on a large screen. In addition to using a fire extinguisher, try discharging water using an indoor fire hydrant, standpipe and Class D pump—equipment that you normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to use.
(The water used for training is recirculated for water conservation purposes.)

Rescue and Escape Section

During the Great Hanshin Earthquake, around 80% of people who became trapped under buildings and furniture were saved by their neighbors.
Learn through a simulated experience how to actually aid and rescue people from fallen block fences and acquire the skills needed for outdoor situations.

Minimum of six people required for this experience.
Note: Choose from a 25-minute program or a 50-minute program, depending on the number of participants.

Protection Against Disasters Map Section

Write down information on roads, rivers, disaster prevention-related facilities and danger warnings on a map, create a disaster prevention map and confirm the local disaster prevention capabilities and risks. In addition to neighborhood associations and autonomous disaster prevention organizations, training using maps of schools and business establishments is also possible (the maps that can be prepared at the facility are limited to the Tokyo area).

Minimum of 10 people required for this experience.
Note: You can take the disaster prevention maps that you create home with you.
