Nojima Fault (野島断層, Nojima Dansō) is a fault that was responsible for the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995 (Kobe Quake).[1] It cuts across Awaji Island, Japan and it is a branch of the Japan Median Tectonic Line which runs the length of the southern half of Honshu island.[2] The fault line itself and part of the damage caused by the Great Hanshin earthquake is preserved within the Nojima Fault Preservation Museum.
