Soja City Machikado Local Museum

A five-minute walk from JR Higashi-Soja Station. This, the former Soja Police Station built in 1910, is the only remaining Meiji period western style building within Soja City. It retains the feel of those past days and stands out for its octagonal multi-story entrance. In 2006 it was chosen as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. Inside you'll find displays with materials related to traditional industry during the Meiji period including Bicchu's pharmaceuticals and Aso's metal casting and woven rush work with an emphasis on pharmaceuticals. Part of the building is available as an exhibition space.
