Naruto German House, Museum and cultural center in Ōasa-chō Hinoki, Japan
The Naruto German House displays artifacts, photographs, and models documenting the life of German prisoners during World War I in Bando Camp.
The museum stands on the site of a 1917 detention camp where 1,000 German soldiers created a community with shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities.
German prisoners introduced European customs to local residents, teaching bread making techniques and establishing musical performances including Beethoven's compositions.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 400 yen for adults and 100 yen for students through junior high.
Inside the museum, visitors observe a detailed doll reproduction depicting the first performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Japan from 1918.
