Yoshida Shoin, born and grew up in Hagi, held this private school at the end of samurai period. This area was called Matsumoto Village and the school was named after it.

Shoin accepted anyone regardless of class and taught them for a little over a year. Kusaka Genzui, Takasugi Shinsaku, Ito Hirofumi and many other revolutionalists active during the Meiji Revolution and in the Meiji government. The school has been kept as it was - a small flat wooden building with the tile roof has rooms with 8 tatami mats, 4 & a half, two rooms with 3 mats, earthen room and a mezzanine. The 8-math classroom has Shoin’s portrait painting and statue.
