This building was completed in 1918 as the Ebina Village Hall. It is a modern building that was at the cutting edge of its time, and was built using an architectural style called the county office style. Afterwards, Ebina City renovated part of this building and opened it as the Ebina City Local History Museum ``Ebina City Onkokan'' in October 1987. We have contributed to the development and improvement of local culture by collecting, storing, and exhibiting documents, records, folklore, archeology, and other materials related to local history. The Onkokan was opened in 1919 as an ``relics exhibition hall'' in conjunction with the designation of the Sagami Kokubunji site as a historic site. This name and materials were inherited when the local museum was opened in 1981.
On the first floor, high school and historical materials (stone tools, earthenware, Kokubunji tiles, etc.) are displayed. On the second floor, with the theme of "clothing, food, and shelter," materials to learn about the lives of ordinary people, such as daily necessities and agricultural tools from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods, are displayed.
