The British Consulate in Shimonoseki was opened at 26 Akama-cho on September 1901 following a report by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the then British Minister to Japan. It was the first consulate established in Shimonoseki. Originally, a small Japanese-style building formerly used as a store was converted for use as the temporary British Consulate. A new consulate was built at the present location in December 1906. The consulate was used by successive consuls until 1922 and later by acting consuls who took charge of consular affairs instead. The consulate was closed towards the end of 1940 due to the worsening relationship between Japan and Britain.
There are several traditional western-style buildings in Shimonoseki. This building is one of them, and was constructed in 1906. The Union Jack is hoisted during daytime. On the second floor, we can enjoy meals and tea feeling the unique atmosphere different from ordinary buildings. 下関にはいくつか伝統的な西洋風の建物があります。これはそのうちの一棟で、1906年に建築されました。日中は、英国国旗が掲揚されています。2階では、普通の建物とは違った独特の雰囲気の中で、食事とお茶を楽しむことができます。
