Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Ijokaku)
This is a must-visit spot for history buffs.
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Ijokaku) is the only facility in Japan to commemorate Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), the great Chinese revolutionary, statesman and philosopher.
Presented here are the ties that Sun Yat-sen had to Japan and to Kobe, with a display of precious papers written in the hand of Sun himself.
The Ijokaku building, the epitome of 1920s modernism, stands gracefully against the backdrop of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, but the extravagant interior is not to be missed either.
The octagonal three-storied Ijokaku is the oldest example of timber-framed concrete block construction in Japan and a nationally designated Important Cultural Property.
