Mongol Invasion records office

元寇史料館

Various relics from the second (2nd) Mongol invasion of Japan are displayed here, including the armor worn by both countries, as well as picture scrolls of the invasion. Particularly worth seeing are the dolls made by Yoichi Kojima, which depict the activities of Buddhist monk Nichiren. The building was constructed in Meiji 37 (1904) as a memorial hall for the Mongol Invasion. In Showa 61 (1986) it underwent reconstruction, and was then opened to the public as a records office. Inside, visitors can find simple explanations of the flow of events from the rise of the Mongol Empire to its invasion of Japan.
