This study tries to investigate the effects and usefulness of disaster memorial museums in the affected area by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE): Iwate and Miyagi, compared with museums in other affected areas: Hyogo, Niigata, and Tokyo. We conducted an internet survey of the people (N=137) visiting the five disaster memorial museums. The five museums could be classified into four categories based on three axes. It is suggested that the two museums of GEJE would be more effective in improving visitors’ ability of disaster risk reduction and more intention to pass them on to others and less in learning response, recovery, and reconstruction, preparedness than those in other regions. Finally, three measures/factors could be proposed to utilize the museums of GEJE more effectively.
