KOKURA PREFECTURAL OFFICE (KENCHO)


The old wooden-built Kokura prefectural office (小倉県庁)is still standing in Kokura Kita Ward , Kitakyushu though in a dilapidated condition (at least externally it needs a new coat of paint). Used as a medical clinic and previously as a law court and a police station, it is opposite the ultra-modern Riverwalk Kitakyushu and is in stark contrast to it.
