Attractions
Former Zentsuji Kaikōsha
A quiet Western-style building that conveys the memory of Zentsuji as a garrison town.
Built in 1903 (Meiji 36), this building served as the officers’ social club of the former Imperial Japanese Army’s 11th Division.
Its European-style architecture features a red-brick foundation, high ceilings, and granite columns.
The space itself allows visitors to sense prewar social culture and another side of Zentsuji as a military city.
Constructed as a gathering place for officers of the former 11th Division, the building is neither overly ornate nor plain, but possesses a dignified elegance.
On rainy days, the quiet atmosphere of the space becomes even more pronounced.
It is a rare place where the building itself tells the story of Zentsuji as both
a “temple town” and a former “military city.”
