Morioka Shinkin Bank Main Branch (former savings bank)

The former Morioka Savings Bank was built in 1927 and was designed by Manji Kasai, a native of Morioka. The six thick columns extending from the first floor to the second floor, the stone carving patterns on the granite, and the stained glass inside give the building a sense of grandeur, and are in line with the modern expressions of the early Showa period and modern design. Designated as a Morioka City Preserved Building.
