The Sakae Village Earthquake Reconstruction Memorial Hall "Kizuna" is located near Morimiyanohara Station on the JR Iiyama Line. This facility serves as a memorial to the devastating earthquake that struck the Sakae Village area in March 2011, the day after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Visitors can view a chronological display of photographs and information panels detailing the disaster and subsequent recovery efforts. Admission is free, but visitors are required to remove their shoes upon entry, which may be challenging in winter. It's a valuable place to remember the earthquake and honor the community's resilience.
