Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
Also known as Ijo-kaku, this hall is the only facility that honors Sun Yat-sen, the Chinese revolutionary, politician and philosopher. This institution introduces the relationships between Japan and Sun Yat-sen as well as Kobe and Sun Yat-sen. It displays a precious calligraphy piece created by Sun Yat-sen himself. The refined interior is well worth seeing as is the graceful exterior with the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the background. This three-storied tower with a octagonal roof mansion is the oldest wooden frame and concrete block building in Japan, and it is designated as an important cultural property by both the country and the prefecture.

Numerous Cultural Properties
Maiko Park boasts of having numerous cultural properties: a Japanese-style former residence of Muto Sanji, a politician in the early 1900's, a Western-style former Kinoshita residence and Chinese-style Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Ijo-kaku). Each building has its own distinct characteristics and history. While many old Japanese-style houses are disappearing after the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, these buildings remain almost the same in appearance as when they were built. They are recognized as tangible cultural properties.
