On 17 Jun 2012, Odate branch started holding meetings at a new location on the second floor of an office building near the Odate City Office and main post office. Bro. Seza from Sendai was reportedly instrumental in finding and acquiring the meetinghouse space. An Open House, dedication and reunion were held 21-22 Jul 2012. Thanks to Sister Rieko Kazumoto Domon for the meetinghouse picture linked above, and the event picture below. Thanks also to Sendai RM John Mason, who submitted historical pictures and recollections of the September 1974 opening the Odate branch for the gathering.
