Lonely Planet review for Ikebukuro Earthquake Hall (Ikebukuro Bōsai-Kan)

Quick: what should you do in case of an earthquake? What if your house is on fire? This facility operated by the Tokyo Fire Department prepares you for these and other disasters by means of videos (available in English) and incredibly realistic simulations; it’s hard not to be rattled once the room starts a-shaking. A visit here is important preparation if you’re planning on living in Japan. Even if you’re not, it’s an important insight into a possibility that’s never far from the mind of any Japanese.
