The Treaty of Shimonoseki after Japan-China War (or Japan-Qing War) was concluded here in 1895. The building itself is a reconstucted one, but you can see some original documents and the original chairs used for the meetings. Next to the museum, there are the statues of the Japan's first Prime Minister, Hirobumi Ito, and the Foreign Minister, Munemitsu Mutsu. 日本語をつけないと受理されない方式になり困っています。海外の人にも読んでもらうために英語だけでは投稿できないのは納得できません。
