Why You Should Visit
Students from Kobe Gakuin University's Department of Social Disaster Prevention team up with the Japan Self-Defense Forces and Kobe Toyopet for a hands-on disaster-preparedness day at AEON Mall Kobe Minami. You can try CPR and AED practice, rope work and making an improvised stretcher, while outdoors there are jet-shooter fire extinguishing, SDF vehicles on display and uniform try-ons. A quiz rally runs across several floors of the mall. Admission is free and no booking is needed, so it is easy to drop in while shopping with the kids.
