Special Opening of Vohriz Architecture (Andrews Memorial Hall / Vohriz Memorial Hall) 1 Fall 2025

Special opening of two Vohriz buildings in Oumi Hachiman City. Andrews was a close friend of Vohriz during his university days and the building, which was completed in 1907 based on funds donated by the family, is the first architectural design by Vohriz. The Vohriz Memorial Hall was once the couple's residence. Both facilities have a guide from the tourism guide association on-site. Normally, reservations are required for visits, but during this period, no reservations are necessary. This event is conducted with the cooperation of Oumi Brothers Company and the tourism volunteer guide association.
