I chanced pass by Katsu Kaishu memorial hall. It seem 300 yen entrance fee,and so cheap. I want to visit in next time😃

For 300 yen, you can learn Katsu Kaishu's life and experience bad weather at Pacific ocean. His grave is in a nearby park. So choose nice day to walk.

Great honor to be here.

2026/03/28 I stopped by while out cherry blossom viewing. Unless you have a fair amount of attachment to Katsu Kaishu, the 300 yen admission fee feels overpriced. As you'd expect from a memorial hall, related information is introduced through panels and videos, which isn't bad, but I felt it would be nicer if there were more displays of actual items, like his favorite belongings or possessions that show what kind of person he was. They should cut operating costs and make it 100 yen. There seemed to be a lot of staff.

It's located near Senzoku Pond. This memorial hall was created by renovating the former Seimei Bunko, which is associated with Katsu Kaishu and is a nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property. Especially from the staircase leading up to the 2nd floor onward, you can see a building that feels steeped in history. On the 1st floor, although the exhibition space is small, it explains the achievements Katsu Kaishu accomplished over his lifetime in an easy-to-understand way. I think it's a very good memorial hall where you can feel history more vividly than the history you learn at school, such as through his interactions with the people who were actually involved. Videos are played in the spacious area on the 2nd floor, and I think it provides an environment where you can learn history in a relaxed way. There's also a museum shop, and I think it's quite a modern memorial hall.
