National Diet Building, Parliament building in Nagatachō, Tokyo, Japan
The National Diet Building features a symmetrical design with a central tower reaching 65 meters high, constructed with pierre and steel reinforced concrete materials.
The construction of this legislative center began in 1920 and concluded in 1936, marking Japan's transition toward a modern parliamentary democracy.
The structure incorporates neoclassical architecture principles while housing both chambers of Japan's bicameral legislature: the House of Representatives and House of Councillors.
Guided tours of the building operate on weekdays, allowing visitors to explore the central hall and view the House of Councillors chamber.
The building contains an empty pedestal among its collection of bronze statues in the central hall, which extends through multiple floors.
