The Nan'yôkan (South Sun Hall) was the first Western-style building to be erected in [[Okinawa prefecture]]. It was completed in [[1894]] on the site of what is today the Prefectural Government Offices (''Okinawa Kenchô''). It was used for a time as the town hall (''kôkaidô'') and from [[1905]] housed the [[Naha]] Business High School, but by 1918, the wooden structure had fallen into disrepair and decay, and so was torn down.
