The Hamada Clinic was built in the Taisho period in a thoroughly Western style, although the living quarters are Japanese. Allowed to lapse into disrepair until recently, the building is now being restored. One of the front rooms is used as a shop for some very attractive ceramics, children's clothes and accessories.
