The
Kaichi School
(
?開智?校
,
ky?kaichi-gakk?
)
in
Matsumoto
,
Nagano Prefecture
was one of the first schools in
Japan
. It opened in a temporary building in May 1873, the year after the first major education reforms were introduced by the new
Ministry of Education
. The school moved to new premises in April 1876. This
western-style
building, fused with
Japanese elements
, was designated an
Important Cultural Property
in 1961. Relocated two years later during work on the nearby Metoba River, in 1965 the old school building was turned into an education museum.
