三重県庁舎

The Mie Prefectural Government Building is an eight-story structure located in central Tsu City that houses multiple administrative departments across its floors and basement level. The building contains public facilities including an auditorium, cafeteria, and information desks where residents can access government services.

The original Mie Prefecture office was constructed in 1879 and was later relocated to the Meiji Village Museum in Inuyama City where it is now preserved as a designated cultural property. The current building was established to serve as the modern administrative center for the prefecture in its central Tsu location.

The building functions as the main administrative center for Mie Prefecture, where residents come to handle official business and interact with local government. It serves as a meeting point where people experience how regional governance works in their daily lives.

The building is open to visitors during regular business hours for accessing government services and has ample parking and public transport connections nearby. It is helpful to know in advance which department you need to visit, as some areas are restricted and the building is quite large.

Following the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, the building underwent extensive seismic isolation work between 2001 and 2003 to enhance its structural safety. These reinforcements made it a model for modern earthquake protection technology in Japan.
