*''Japanese'': 入船山記念館 ''(Irifuneyama kinenkan)''
The Irifuneyama Kinenkan (Memorial Hall) is the former residence of the commander of the [[Kure]] Naval Base, at Kure, in [[Hiroshima prefecture]]. It is the only surviving example today of such a military commander's residence of that particular period and style.
It sits on or near the site of a Kameyama Shrine, established in [[703]] and requisitioned by the navy in [[1886]]. In [[1890]], a two-story Western-style wooden building was constructed for administrative use; it was later converted into a residence for the naval commander. It was then rebuilt following an earthquake and fire in [[1905]]. Stone monuments on the site surviving from the shrine are associated with celebration or commemoration of the accomplishments of [[Taira no Kiyomori]].
