Hyōgo Prefectural Government Office

The Hyōgo Prefectural Government Office is a modern administrative building in Kobe that manages the affairs of Hyōgo Prefecture. The multi-story structure houses various departments and coordinates regional services from its central location.

The building was completed in 1966 and marked a turning point in the administration of the Kobe region. It replaced the previous prefectural guest house and created space for the prefecture's expanding administrative needs.

The building functions as a central point for administrative decisions affecting the 5.47 million residents of Hyōgo Prefecture, influencing regional policies and development.

The office is centrally located on Shimo-Yamate-dōri and is easily reached on foot or by public transport. As an administrative building, some areas may not be open to the public, so it is worth checking visit possibilities in advance.

The structure represents modern Japanese governmental architecture while maintaining essential administrative services for one of Japan's most economically significant prefectures.
