Built in the Meiji era (1868-1912) as the head office building of the Bank of Morioka, the building is designated as a <span class=\"marker2\">Tangible Cultural Property of Japan<\/span>, and its unique red brick exterior leaves a deep impression on visitors. The interior retains <span class=\"marker2\">a stately structure that evokes the functionality of the bank in the past<\/span>, creating a space that gives off a sense of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This building was designed by <span class=\"marker\">Kingo Tatsuno and Manji Kasai<\/span>, both renowned for their work on <span class=\"marker2\">Tokyo Station<\/span>. Its <span class=\"marker2\">high ceilings<\/span> and <span class=\"marker2\">open layout<\/span> are characteristic of the Western-style architecture of that era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-2\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-138.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-138.png 1024w, https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-138-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-138-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-138.png 856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting the <span class=\"marker\">Iwate Bank Red Brick Pavilion<\/span>, take your time to stroll around the building.
