Wonderful experience! Worth visiting this memorial, very informative and nicely presented museum, the concept of making check dams (rain water harvesting)with names of people who lost their lives is the best part . Miyawaki forest is a unique treat to look. This place is truly a remarkable idea of making something productive out of nowhere.

Amazing Experience.. But it was too much crowded, you have to stand in line for ticket which is quite long. Then wait for your turn. You need 2hours to cover this museum.
