Kagawa Prefectural Government Office, Government office in Takamatsu, Japan.
The Kagawa Prefectural Government Office is a skyscraper in central Takamatsu featuring 21 floors above ground and 2 basement levels. Its clean glass exterior and slender profile make it a recognizable part of the city skyline.
The building was designed by architect Kenzo Tange and completed in 2000. It received national cultural property status in 2022, recognizing its architectural importance for Japan.
The ground floor displays a large mural titled 'Wa-kei-sei-jaku' by artist Genichiro Inokuma that expresses the philosophy of tea ceremony. The artwork shows how modern buildings can hold local traditions and values within their walls.
The observation deck on the 21st floor offers views of the Seto Inland Sea, Yashima island, and downtown Takamatsu. Access is free and open to visitors during regular business hours.
The building is one of only 20 selected modern architectural structures in Japan designated as National Treasures of Modernism. This rare distinction marks its significance in the country's contemporary architectural history.
