Situated on the site of the Former Domain School Meirinkan, the largest wooden schoolhouse in Japan is Hagi's new tourism hub!
Hagi Domain School Meirinkan is an outstanding example of Japanese architecture.
The schoolhouse of Meirin Elementary School was built on this site, and the building has been reopened as Hagi Meirin Gakusha. This precious site and the largest wooden schoolhouse in Japan which was subsequently built here, have a fascinating story to tell.
