Niigata Prefectural Government Memorial Hall

Niigata Prefectural Government Memorial Hall, Historical government building and museum in Ichibanboridōri-chō, Niigata, Japan.

The Niigata Prefectural Government Memorial Hall is a white administrative building with a central tower built in a Western architectural style. It houses exhibitions about regional administrative operations and the prefecture's development over time.

The building was constructed in 1883 as a parliament seat and initially served the prefecture's administrative needs. After decades of use, it was transformed in 1975 and opened as a public memorial.

Visitors can see original administrative documents and photographs that show how the prefecture changed over decades. The displays give a sense of what political work looked like in this region historically.

The entrance is located within Hakusan Park with clear signage and level pathways to the building. The interior is easy to navigate with exhibitions spread across two floors, accessible by stairs and elevators.

The structure underwent major renovation in 2020 to improve earthquake resistance while keeping its original white facade and central tower untouched. This preservation approach allows the building to remain safe while maintaining its 19th-century appearance.
