Personal mementos and other materials related to Aritomo Yamagata, a military man and politician who served from the late-Tokugawa period until the 1920s, are on display at the General Yamagata Memorial Museum.The building itself, one of the few Western-style wooden structures that existed during the Meiji period, has been designated tangible cultural property by Tochigi Prefecture.How about immersing yourself the history that lingers here with a free cup of roasted coffee in your hand as you hear the mysterious sounds of the tranquil nature intermingled with the suikinkutsu ("water koto cave"), a type of Japanese garden ornament and music device?
