Imazu Vories Museum

The Imazu Vories Museum exhibits architectural designs, photographs, and personal artifacts within a Western-style building that combines Japanese construction elements.

William Merrell Vories designed this structure in 1934 next to the former Imazu post office, which operated as a communication center until 1978.

The museum collections demonstrate the integration of Western architectural principles with Japanese building methods during the early twentieth century modernization period.

Located ten minutes from Omi Imazu Station on the Kosei Line, the museum presents exhibits about William Merrell Vories through guided tours in multiple languages.

The museum building exemplifies the architectural style of William Merrell Vories, who designed numerous structures throughout Japan while promoting social welfare projects.
