An interactive disaster prevention attraction experienced by around 40,000 people nationwide
It seems this interactive disaster prevention attraction was created in 2015.
It’s apparently so popular that around 40,000 people nationwide(as of March 2019) have already experienced it.
There seem to be several versions of the disaster prevention attraction, and this one called “Flood” appears to be especially popular.
For Nishinomiya City, this seems to be the third installment, with applications opening at 0:00 on August 1, but it reached capacity that same day.
There was a video
It looks like there won’t be any additional sessions
According to Nishinomiya City’s official website, there are no plans to accept additional applications due to cancellations.
It’s pretty rare for a city-sponsored event to fill up this quickly, isn’t it?

Poster from an earlier interactive disaster prevention attraction
This is the poster from the second installment.
This definitely makes you want to take part.
Finally
Rather than just a standard disaster drill, turning it into an attraction like this draws attention, so it’s probably a good way to raise awareness about disaster prevention. That said, the budget for something like this seems pretty high. It’s probably also not easy for the city to charge people for it.
