UNESCO World Heritage Site
Overview
Elegant brick headquarters of Japan's first modern steel mill, visible from a dedicated platform.
The administrative center of Japan's first modern steel mill, instrumental to the nation's rapid industrialization. Because the steel works are still an active industrial zone, visitors cannot enter the building. Instead, a dedicated viewing platform provides a clear look at this elegant, symmetrical brick structure.
Local tips
Bring a camera with a good zoom lens, as the viewing area is set a considerable distance from the actual building.
