Tōju Shoin, Edo period private school in Takashima, Japan.
The school building stands as a center for Confucian studies, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and educational spaces for students and scholars.
Nakae Toju established this educational institution in 1648, creating a place where samurai families could study Confucian philosophy and moral teachings.
The institution played a central role in spreading Confucian principles throughout Japanese society, influencing both the nobility and common people.
Located within a 15-minute walk from Adogawa Station on the JR Kosei Line, the site maintains regular visiting hours for educational tours.
A giant wisteria tree that once grew behind the original building led students to call their teacher Nakae 'Mr. Wisteria Tree.'
