Okayama Prefectural Government Building

The building features large windows throughout its facade, allowing natural light to illuminate interior spaces and create an efficient work environment.

Constructed in January 1957 under the direction of architect Kunio Maekawa, the structure represents a period of governmental modernization in post-war Japan.

The building merges Japanese architectural elements with modern design principles, reflecting the evolving aesthetic preferences of mid-twentieth century Japan.

Located near the Asahi River, the government building houses multiple administrative departments and serves as the central hub for Okayama Prefecture operations.

The structure incorporates specific design elements from Maekawa's training with Le Corbusier while maintaining functionality for administrative purposes.
