Iwashina School, Former school building in Matsuzaki, Japan
The Iwashina School building exhibits a fusion of Japanese and Western architectural elements, featuring traditional namako walls and a second-floor balcony design.
Built in September 1880 during Japan's educational modernization, this two-story structure stands as the oldest elementary school building in the Izu region.
The entrance displays notable calligraphy by Sanetomi Sanjo, the last Grand Minister of Japan, along with a dragon sculpture by local artist Chohachi Irie.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 300 yen while students under junior high school age enter without charge.
The Tsuru no ma room contains intricate ranma screens depicting flying cranes created by Chohachi Irie, leading toward a red alcove resembling a sunrise.
