Iwate Bank Red Brick Building

Iwate Bank Red Brick Building

The Iwate Bank Red Brick Building was established in 1911 as the main branch of Morioka Bank. This beautiful red brick structure was designed by the architectural firm of Kingo Tatsuno and Banji Kasai, and it is the only example of Tatsuno's design remaining in the Tohoku region. The exterior features a Renaissance-style outline crowned with a green dome, contributing to the iconic landscape of Morioka City. The interior boasts luxurious decor, with plaster motifs gracing the ceiling. The bank ceased operations in 2012, and after approximately three and a half years of restoration, it reopened as a public facility in 2016. There is a free "Iwate Bank Zone" and a paid "Morioka Bank Zone," and the interior includes spaces that introduce the history of finance and the building itself. The Red Brick Building is cherished as a cultural heritage site in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, attracting many visitors.
