The Former Kaichi School

A unique 19th-century elementary school building designed with a blend of Japanese and Western styles

The Former Kaichi School was first opened in 1873 as an elementary school. It is said to be an example of Giyofu architecture which combined Western and Japanese styles. The interior of the school has recreated the classrooms of that time with valuable materials such as the old desks and textbooks out on display.
