Maizuru City Commemoration Hall

The Maizuru City Commemoration Hall stands within a collection of red brick warehouses that reflect the industrial architecture of early 1900s Japan.

Following its construction in 1903 as a naval torpedo warehouse, the building received recognition as Japan's first steel-frame brick structure from the government.

The museum exhibits incorporate artifacts from ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Greece, featuring bricks that tell stories of architectural development.

Located near Higashi Maizuru Station, the museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a parking area 150 meters west of the complex.

The museum received bricks from Portsmouth, England in 1993, marking the establishment of sister city relations between Maizuru and Portsmouth.
