We proposed a method to estimate tsunami setup in front of buildings for prefectural governors to designate tsunami disaster caution districts. In the method, the maximum inundation depth in front of buildings in any points can be calculated from specific energy obtained by a tsunami inundation simulation without buildings. The method shows good agreement with inundation depths observed in the inundation areas of the Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami.
