Renjuku, Private school from Edo period in Kannabe, Fukuyama, Japan
The Renjuku academy includes lecture halls, student dormitories, and the former residence of its founder, situated near the Takaya River in Fukuyama.
Founded in 1775 by Confucian scholar Sazan Kan, the institution operated until 1872 when Japan implemented its modern educational system.
The institution accepted students from diverse social backgrounds, including samurai, doctors, priests, townspeople, and farmers, who studied Neo-Confucianism and Chinese literature.
Visitors can reach the Special Historic Site by walking 15 minutes from Kannabe Station on the JR West Fukuen Line.
Students at Renjuku could offset their educational expenses by performing housework duties, as the annual fees exceeded typical servant wages.
