This facility was built to commemorate victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, and was used as a city library until 1931. While the building is based on the Renaissance style, it incorporates Japanese styles throughout. Designated as a prefectural treasure, the Western-style building is representative of the Meiji period (1868-1912), and features the originality and ingenuity of Horie Sakichi, a master builder from Hirosaki.

Shirakami Sanchi is a vast mountainous area sprawling approximately 130,000 hectares over the northwestern region of Akita Prefecture and the southwestern region of Aomori Prefecture. Registered as a World Heritage (Natural Heritage) site in December 1993, this area is home to one of the world's largest primeval beech forests largely unaffected by humans, preserving a valuable ecosystem where a wide variety of flora and fauna live and grow naturally. The Shirakami-Sanchi Visitor Centre is a facility where visitors can learn about the relationship between beech trees and the ecosystem in Shirakami Sanchi. *Please bring a smartphone or other device that can scan QR codes.
