National Diet Building (Kokkai-Gijido)
National Diet Building (Kokkai-Gijido) Review
This building, which houses the Japanese parliament, is the perfect example of post-World War II Japanese architecture; on a gloomy day it seems as if it might have sprung from the screen of a German Expressionist movie. Started in 1920, construction took 17 years to complete. The Prime Minister's residence, Kantei, is across the street.
