    Juku(tutoring school)for Chinese characters founded in 1833 by Buntai Suzuki in the village of Aozu. More than 1,000 students attended the school for nearly 80 years until it closed in 1912. At the age of eight, Buntai's talent was recognized by Ryokan, and he continued his friendship with him. It is inevitable that Ryokan's desire to help those suffering from the flooding of the Shinano River would live on in the teachings of Chozenkan. His teachings were passed on to Tai Hasegawa, who founded Saisei Gakusha, the predecessor of Nippon Medical School, and to Masanao Washio, Takenosuke Takahashi, Kan'ichi Otake, and others who worked hard for the construction of the Ohkouzu diversion. The driving force behind their actions was their single-minded desire to help those who suffer. The four exhibition rooms in the archives introduce the history of Juku(tutoring school), its educational features, textbooks, and the diverse achievements of those who studied educational methods still applicable today. Other exhibits include a model of the Yonozu meteorite and works by the Japanese painter Misao Yokoyama.
