History

The Kotohiki Cafe building was built in 1914 as the Mitoyo-gun Agricultural Association Agricultural Experiment Station.
After that, it was used as an industrial business hall, but in April 1918, the Kanonji Municipal Sanuki Museum was added to the business hall, and in 1945, the Sanuki Museum was officially established.
After the war, it opened as a Sanuki Museum alongside the municipal library, and in 1955, it became a city at the same time as the city system came into effect.
In 1979, it was partially dismantled and repaired in order to preserve the building and function as a museum, and in June 1980, it became the Kannonji Folk Museum and was used as a museum until March 2018.
In March 1998, these buildings received a report from the National Council for the Protection of Cultural Properties, and in September of the same year, they were registered as nationally registered tangible cultural properties.
