Please let me update my previous post as I have come across the doors opening today.
As tourists are increasing recently, the city of Osaka decided to utilize this old building, former IJA 4th Division Headquarters, as a rest house limited in the summertime.


TODAY!

Thanks David

Even a restaurant worker there did not know the building's historical background well.
I told her it and she was surprised.

I thought the T-shirt shop should sell IJA uniforms but most of the tourists there are from China.
I have understood this is not the time for ww2 anymore.
 
We have those in the US. They are called armories. Many famous ones here in New York City. Some are like time capsules with the architecture frozen from the 1800's. Many are used as venues for art shows and stuff like that. Beautiful buildings and so similar as the one you posted. Amazing.
 
Thanks Jim
The armories sounds a great idea because it is good to let old buildings survive in any style as long as possible for the future generations.

What fewer people know about the 4th Division building, by the way, is that it still has an old table which I estimate was provided for the high-ranking IJA officers in the backyard.
They would have enjoyed beers sitting around it in the summertime evening, even in the summer of 1945.
