A faithful reconstruction of the Aizu Domain's school, which boasted the highest standard of education in Japan during the Edo period. Visitors can experience how the elite of the time studied through the martial arts halls, the astronomical observatory, and a pond that served as Japan's oldest swimming pool. With activities like archery, Zen meditation, and traditional craft painting, it is a history-themed spot where both adults and children can enjoy learning the samurai values of "etiquette" and "spirit."
