Hokudan-town in Awaji Island is located right on the source fault of the 1995 Hyogo-ken- Nambu or Kobe earthquake. The fault, namely Nojima fault, ruptured for about10 km along the coastline through the town. In 1998 the town opend a fault museum. The museum itself is a huge greenhouse covering the surface rupture over 100 meters. Offset road, fense, and ground surface are well preserved. There is also a trench exposing the fault cutting through lower Quaternary sediments. The inauguration of the museum coincided with the opening of the world longest Akashi channel bridge which connect Awaji Island with mainland Japan in March 1998. Since then the museum has been one of the most popular sites for the tourists in Awaji.
