Former Kaizaki Clinic

Cultural Property

The former Kaizaki Clinic, a place where laborers from the Ikuno Silver Mine received medical care, is believed to have opened its doors around 1887. While the clinic building is not particularly large, it stands as a valuable structure that embodies the beauty of late 19th-century Western-Japanese fusion architecture. Inside, the waiting room features wooden flooring with plastered walls. The ceiling is decorated with intricate paintings depicting various elements of nature, including flowers, birds, the sun, and the moon. The roof is covered with red-tinted local Ikuno roof tiles, adding another unique charm to the building’s appearance.
