Meiji Seimei Kan, Neoclassical office building in Marunouchi, Japan

The Meiji Seimei Kan building features a symmetrical design with Corinthian columns spanning five floors and extends eight stories above ground with two basement levels.

Completed in 1934 under architect Shinichiro Okada's direction, the building served as the Far East Air Force headquarters during the Allied occupation after World War II.

The structure represents Japan's architectural transition during the early 20th century, combining Western neoclassical elements with Japanese construction techniques.

The first floor houses the Marunouchi Customer Consultation Center, while the upper floors contain corporate offices of Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company.
