It
was
completed
in
1903.
The
last
governor
to
use
it
was
Torazo
Ninagawa.
It
is
still
used
in
some
areas
today.
The
building
is
built
in
the
shape
of
a
square,
with
a
garden
in
the
center.
You
can
tour
the
old
main
building,
old
governor's
office,
government
office,
old
cafeteria,
old
assembly
hall,
etc.
An
instructor
will
also
be
available.
The
veranda
that
juts
out
from
the
government
building
was
once
the
home
of
Emperor
Showa
and
Russia's
Major
Gagarin.
It
is
said
that
when
Emperor
Showa's
enthronement
ceremony
was
held
at
the
Imperial
Palace,
the
government
office
became
a
little
cramped
and
a
new
building
was
built
beforehand.
The
building
currently
houses
the
Agency
for
Cultural
Affairs.
The
Kyoto
Shoshidai
was
a
government
office
housed
in
Kyoto
during
the
Edo
period,
and
it
is
said
to
have
been
located
in
the
location
of
the
current
Kyoto
Prefectural
Office.
There
is
a
stone
monument
at
the
entrance
of
the
old
main
building.
Access:
Get
off
at
Marutamachi
Station
on
the
