A historic facility where young officers once studied as the former Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. Precious buildings, including the red-brick Great Auditorium and the Education Reference Hall, are still carefully preserved today, and guided tours let visitors connect with Japan's modern history. The neatly kept, beautiful gardens are also a highlight, giving the grounds a quiet, dignified atmosphere. It's a great spot for history-loving families and first-time visitors alike.
Tips
Visits are by scheduled guided tour, so check the tour times and application method on the official website in advance. The grounds are extensive, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. You'll travel by car to the next stop, the Okaki District Local History Museum.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 15 minutes. Time your visit to match the start of a guided tour.
