横井小楠紀念館, Biographical museum and residence in Kumamoto, Japan.

The Yokoi Shōnan Memorial Museum preserves the original architecture of the former residence where this intellectual leader conducted his philosophical teachings.

Built in 1855, this structure served as the residence and school of Yokoi Shōnan until 1868, when he received an invitation to join the Meiji government.

The museum exhibits documents and artifacts related to Yokoi Shōnan, along with materials concerning other historical figures like Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori.

The museum opens from 9:30 to 16:30, charges 200 yen for adults and high school students, while children under school age enter free of charge.

The museum contains the Shijiken study hall where Yokoi Shōnan taught numerous students who later became influential figures in Japanese modernization.
