Nagoya City Archives, Municipal archive in Shirakabe district, Nagoya, Japan
The Nagoya City Archives occupies a western-influenced building with high ceilings, ornate windows, and classical architectural elements at the edge of Meijo Park.
The structure, dating from 1922 during the Taisho era, initially served as the Nagoya Court of Appeals before its transformation into municipal archives in 1989.
The archives maintain extensive collections of administrative documents, photographs, and historical records that document the development of Nagoya through different periods.
Visitors can access the archives daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except Mondays and third Thursdays, with the nearest station being Nagoya Castle on the Meijo line.
The building contains one of the largest stained-glass window installations in Japan and features a preserved courtroom from the pre-1947 constitutional period.
