This Japanese western-style complex was a primary school for Japanese children built in 1912. The nicely restored classrooms and offices now house child-friendly exhibitions such as the one we saw on the area's banana farmers of yesteryear. There is also a lovely cafe that sells sumptuous banana pastries and fresh-fruit popsicles.
