Aomori Bank Memorial Hall (Former main branch of the 59th National Bank)
青森銀行記念館
This was the first national bank established in 1879, and the 59th national bank in Japan. The bank was relocated to Oyakata-machi in 1904. This is the building that was constructed in the new location, designed by Sakichi Horie. Horie was a leading expert in the field of western-style construction, who also designed Osamu Dazai’s birth home, the Shayokan Museum. The building is a Renaissance style western building with decorative tower that was also used as observatory. At the tip of the tower is a decoration, the kind found on temples in India. The building is designated important intangible cultural heritage.
