The Wakamatsu Bund, or Wakamatsu riverfront street, has just a few buildings remaining from Wakamatsu's glory days as a coal port in the Taisho period (early 20th century). They are all in this same walking area. The former Furukawakogyo Wakamatsu building was built in 1919. The building was once scheduled for destruction but was saved and meticulously restored. It is now used as a meeting hall and as a museum for temp[orary displays of Wakamatsu history. When we went, there was a second-floor display on loan from the Matsunaga Bunko movie museum from Moji port. There is a first-floor office/gift shop that may be the best part of the building because the staff there is very knowledgeable about the history of Wakamatsu. We spent as much time talking to the people at the office as we did looking at the exhibits. Beautiful architecture. Visited 1 December 2018.
