In Osaka bay area in Japan, several railways have been built along the coastline. The facilities of railway companies such as high station buildings and railway embankments are useful against tsunami disaster. In this study, to grasp the present conditions of railway facilities in Osaka bay area, the availability of those facilities against tsunami disaster by earthquake in the Nankai Trough was examined. Moreover, the countermeasures against tsunami disaster by railway companies were clarified.
