Gosineihoanden school pavilion

Gosineihoanden is a school pavilion of Japanese elementary school which was opened in 1925 in Merey village (Prigorodnoye village of Korsakov district after 1945). School pavilions of that type were used for safe-keeping of the Japanese Emperors portrait and the Rescript on Education during the Karafuto administration in the southern Sakhalin. This was part of the state policy for education of the young generation in the spirit of Emperor's worship and faith in the sacredness of the Japanese Empire. The pavilion is a historical arid cultural monument representing important period in the history of Japan and the history of the Sakhalin Oblast of the first half of XX century.

In October 2002 the Pavilion was relocated from Prigorodnoye (LNG plant construction site under the Sakhalin II Project) to the grounds, of Sakhalin Regional Museum with assistance of the Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. («Sakhalin Energy»).
