NAMAZU

You will discover an environment very evocative of the theme of earthquakes and will immediately be immersed in the atmosphere: the area seems to have been shaped by an earthquake that affected the landscape as well as the buildings and cracks appear on the paths.

The Namazu science team has established its seismology research and monitoring laboratory on a particularly unstable fault. Its seismic activity allows numerous surveys and facilitates research. Even so, the area remains dangerous, although the buildings are of earthquake-resistant design, the area is often evacuated as a safety measure.

Before taking off-road vehicles specially designed to access rugged areas to join the Namazu team in place on the ground, you will be invited to enter the forward base in groups to meet the scientific chief of the Namazu team.
