Yamate Museum

The museum was built in 1909, is known for been the only wooden house extant from the Meiji period. It houses a collection, which is a hodgepodge of Victorian-era, foreign residents' mementos. On the second floor there is a scale model of the Foreigners' Cemetery, which is placed across the street from the museum. A pamphlet provides brief biographies of some of the prominent foreign residents who are buried in the cemetery, and also gives a chronological rendering of Yamate's history.
