This memorial hall is dedicated to Sun Yat-sen, the Chinese revolutionary, political leader, and thinker, and displays valuable materials including examples of his calligraphy. The building was originally the villa of Wu Jintang, a wealthy member of Kobe’s Chinese community and a supporter of Sun Yat-sen. It is also Japan’s oldest wood-framed concrete block building and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
The building’s three-story octagonal pavilion is its defining feature, while the elegant Western-style architecture creates a picturesque scene against the backdrop of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. The lavish interior and ornate ceilings are also worth seeing. Exhibits inside explore Sun Yat-sen’s connections with Japan and Kobe, the life of Wu Jintang, and the history of Ijokaku.
Exhibit descriptions are available in English and Simplified Chinese as well as Japanese.
