A disaster prevention experience-type lodging facility that was created by renovating the former Nobiru Elementary School, closed due to the tsunami damage. The name “KIBOTCHA” is a playful take on the word “hope” that includes the meanings of “disaster prevention” and “the future,” so named to convey the importance of life to children, who are the bearers of the future. The facility has rooms to accommodate from one person to a large number of people, plus an area for outdoor camping, glamping, and daytime barbecues. There is also an all-weather indoor playroom and fitness room. Located near Okumatsushima Sports Park, it is an ideal place to stay for sports training camps.
The facility also provides disaster prevention education through exhibitions of disaster equipment and video materials, disaster prevention education camps supervised by former members of the Self-Defense Forces, and storytelling events led by disaster victims.
