Description
Don't be perplexed if the building reminds you of something. You must have seen it somewhere, sometime in ... England. This exact replica of the Bank of England was the first western building constructed in Japan. Finished in 1896, it has since shepherded Japan to prosperity. The Central Bank influences not only the Japanese economy but that of the world. For those interested in finance, the tour of the edifice (in English) includes an introductory video of the Bank, a check at its operations and international departments, and a browse at historical banking exhibits.
