Bank of Japan Tour Audio Guide

The Bank of Japan Tour Audio Guide is an application that offers audio and text-based guidance for people taking part in guided tours of the Bank's Head Office.

The app enables users to hear and read explanations provided by the tour guide during the visit. Please note that advance reservations are required to join the tour, which can be made separately through the Online Tour Reservation site.

The tour offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the Main Building of the Bank, built in 1896 and designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Designed by Kingo Tatsuno, a Japanese architect who studied banking architecture in the West, this classical Western-style building stands as one of the earliest examples of modern architecture in Japan. The tour includes visits to the underground vault, the former banking hall, and exhibition rooms.
