三田演説館

The Mita Hall is an auditorium at Keio University's campus in Minato that blends traditional Japanese and Western architecture. The building contains modern audio and video equipment while maintaining its original structure for various events.

The building was established in 1875 and became an important center for academic discussion under educator Fukuzawa Yukichi. Its founding coincided with Japan's adoption of Western educational methods in its institutions.

The hall has long served as a place where students gather to listen to speeches and debate important ideas. This role remains central to campus life today.

The hall is located in the Minato district and is easily accessible via campus pathways. Visitors should check ahead for current events, as the space is regularly used for academic and ceremonial occasions.

The building is one of Japan's earliest academic auditoriums and shows how Eastern and Western teaching methods came together. This blend is visible in how the space itself is designed.
