Yamagata Kyodokan

Reviewed By DesmondLim - Singapore, Singapore

It’s a little museum, located inside Yamagata Castle Park, north of Yamagata Station, about 13mins walk (1.1km) Honestly, it was in our plan as it look like “just an old building. We decided to pay a visit while in the park, but it turned out to be a surprised. It was originally a local hospital in the 1900s and the compound was beautiful . The museum displayed a lot of medical equipments and medical manual used in the old days. There are some old photos of the medical team and patients as well. It’s free entry and definitely worth a visit if you are nearby. Do drop me a message if need more info, and give me a thumbs up if you find the info useful. Thanks
