This building nicknamed “King’s Tower” stands with an exceptional dignity in an area filled with exotic air. Built in 1928, it was influenced by the Art Deco architectural style which was popular in Europe back then. The imperial crown style and the exterior scratch tiles give it distinction. It is particularly beautiful when the building is lit from sundown to 22:00. Often used for location shooting in Japanese TV dramas and movies.

Kanagawa Prefectural Government

This is the first prefectural government central office in Kanagawa to be designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. Affectionately known as the “King tower”, the central government office features a dignified building that harmonizes Western architectural style with Japanese taste. It is possible to hold meetings in the third floor large conference hall, which adopts a formal Japanese architectural style. Also, from the rooftop observatory, you can enjoy liberating vistas of the Port of Yokohama, Minatomirai District and so on.
