In 1956 it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Akita Prefecture and in 1990 was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. It was built prior to the Rokumeikan building and the Nikolai-do Holy Resurrection Cathedral, both of which are said to be symbols of western-style architecture.

    Akita Pref. Kadunogunkosakamachi Kosakakouzan Furudate 35-6
    This facility was established in 1931 as a daycare center for miners’ children. It was originally located in a renovated old building, but the following year, a new building was created, and this is the Tenshikan building that currently remains. The vertically long double-hung windows, Renaissance-style entranceway, and other beautiful aspects have led to this building being designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
