Hokuyokan

An old Western-style structure located on the grounds of the Maritime Self Defense Forces Ominato District Command. A stately stone building built in 1916 as a social hall for naval officers, today the facility is used to display historical items and materials relating to the former Japanese Navy and the Self Defense Forces. The building has also been selected as an excellent example of architecture dating to Japan's Taisho and Showa periods.
