Sugimura SojinkanMemorial House and MuseumtwitterSugimura SojinkanMemorial House and MuseumWebsiteThe main building built when Sojinkan took up permanent residency in Abiko is now used as a museum. Having lived through the Great Kanto Earthquake, where he lost two children, Sojinkan requested that the architect build a structure with a light roof that would resist collapsing. Sugimura Sojinkan was an international journalist who was active from the Meiji to the Showa Periods. He originally used this house as his second home, but after the Great Kanto Earthquake he moved to Abiko with his family, where he lived the rest of his life until his death in 1945. Camellia, one of his favorite plants, has been planted in the garden, as have trees that change color in autumn at pivotal points. Back then water flowed through the garden, and it is said that the Lake Teganuma scenery could be seen nearby. This building is evocative of the Taisho Roman aesthetic, and has even been used as a filming location.2-5-5 Midori, Abiko City ☎ 04-7187-1131Hours of operation: 9:00 – 16:30 (entry until 16:00)Closed: Mondays (or the next weekday if this is a national holiday), December 29 – January 3, internal organization daysEntry fee: 300 yen for general admission, etc.By foot 10 minutes from Abiko Station (750 m)6
