Important Cultural Properties of Japan
Most Kaikosha buildings that survived the war still exist despite having been commandeered by SCAP during the subsequent occupation. Notable among them are the 7th Division's Asahikawa Kaikosha, which is today the Asahikawa Museum of Sculpture, the 8th Division's Hirosaki Kaikosha which is today a memorial hall open to the public, and the 11th Division's Zentsūji Kaikosha which is today used for a variety of purposes including as the site of placement exams for members of the Self-Defense Force, of regular recitals of the JSDF band, and of events and exchanges between local civilians and JSDF personnel, and there is even a Kaikosha Café in a separate building recently established beside the main building. All three of these buildings have received national recognition as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
