In 1866 (1866), Hamagoten was under the jurisdiction of the Shogunate Navy, and the following year, a wooden frame stone building called "Ishimuro" was built as a navy government building and training facility. In 1869 (1869), when U.K. Prince Edinburgh as a state guest, he hurriedly repaired the stone room, and the first guest facility in modern Japan, named Yan Liao Pavilion, was born. In 1870 (1870), the former Hamagoten Ichien was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Ministry, but only the Yan Liao Museum is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1883 (1883), the Kannarukan was completed and the status of the front stage of the event hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was handed over, but in 1884 (1884), the first Tenran sumo wrestling was held, and for the sumo world, which had been stagnant since the Meiji era, It seems to have been handed down that it was a turning point for life. In the same year, he moved to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. It highlights the Yan Liao Pavilion, which has been widely used as a major stage for diplomatic service and as a venue for meetings, feasts and events organized by government officials until its demolition in 1890.
