Kamaishi Earthquake Recovery & Architecture Tour
– The spirit of people living and working in conjunction with the ocean and the lessons learned due to the tsunami disaster

2019年ラグビーワールドカップ日本開催にあたり、本戦会場として選定されました。ワールドカップに開催時には約16,000席の仮設観客席を整備し、大会後はメインスタジアム以外のエリアは市民が親しめる運動公園となるよう、特徴的なデザインを導入しています。この場所は、被災した鵜住居小学校と釜石東中学校がかつて建っていた場所であり、記憶の伝承や、災害時における迅速な避難誘導などもデザインに盛り込まれています。

The stadium was the venue selected to host Rugby matches during the World Cup in 2019. About 16,000 temporary seats for audiences were constructed for this World Cup. Currently the site, except the main stadium, is used as an athletic park for citizens.
The stadium was built in the area where Unosumai and Kamaishi Higashi junior high school, which were destroyed by the tsunami, previously existed. Consequently, the stadium and its landscape are designed to share the lessons of the disaster with visitors and, in emergency situations, enable people to immediately and safely evacuate from the ocean.
