Originally established as a Meiji-era Army Hospital in 1887, Sankyo Kōen Hospital served as a major medical center in the Kansai region. During WWII, it was repurposed as a trauma treatment facility for wounded soldiers. After the war, it was taken over by local authorities and converted into a public health center. Today designated as a Prefectural Heritage Site, the building retains its original red-brick façade and arched windows. An annual "Heritage Open Day" allows visitors to tour historic wards and pharmacies, revealing Japan’s modern medical evolution. Reserve guided tours via HopeGoo for up-to-date access details.
