Kaichi School, Education museum in Matsumoto, Japan
The Kaichi School building combines French plate glass windows with traditional Japanese architectural elements, including paper ceilings and bamboo walls.
Built in 1876, this former elementary school provided education opportunities to children from non-samurai families during Japan's modernization period.
The building represents Giyōfū architecture, designed by Seijū Tateishi, incorporating both Japanese and Western construction methods of the Meiji period.
The museum opens daily from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with adult admission priced at 400 yen and parking facilities available on site.
Local residents funded seventy percent of the construction costs, demonstrating the community's dedication to establishing modern educational facilities in the region.
