防府市公会堂

The Mitomo Salvia Hall is a modern assembly building in Hofu featuring multiple floors and performance spaces. The main auditorium holds about 1,400 seats while smaller halls and meeting rooms accommodate various types of gatherings and exhibitions.

The building was originally constructed in 1960 reflecting the postwar rebuilding spirit of that era. A comprehensive modernization in 2020 strengthened its structure while keeping its distinctive modernist design from the original period.

This building serves Hofu as a gathering place for concerts, theater productions, and local festivals that happen throughout the year. It functions as a central meeting point for people in the Yamaguchi region to experience cultural events together.

The building is accessible by walking about 10 minutes from Hofu Station and sits in a convenient location. Visitors should follow the signage inside as the facility has multiple specialized spaces and functional areas across its floors.

The building received a Good Design Award in 2020 and offers virtual reality experiences accessible through mobile devices for visitors. This technology allows guests to explore the venue and its events in novel ways.
