Bank of Japan Headquarters 日本銀行 本店

The main building of the Bank of Japan, the first national modern building by a Japanese architect, was completed in 1896 in the classicist style by Kingo Tatsuno, who had studied Western architecture. The main building is an over 120-year-old classical-style stone structure that's still in use.

The Bank of Japan Head Office is centrally located in Tokyo and easily accessible by train or taxi.

The Bank of Japan Head Office is in Nihonbashi, just a short walk from the Mitsukoshi-mae Station, Kanda Station and Tokyo Station , among others.

The bank stands on the former site of the Kinza (gold mint). The main building retains its original features, such as its large courtyard and lobby. You can take an English-language guided tour of the main building by making a reservation in advance.

An online tour, “BOJ from Home" is now available. View the interior of the Bank's Main Building in 3-D on any PC or mobile device. You can also enjoy an immersive virtual reality experience using VR goggles or glasses.
