The Former Kagoshima Prefectural stands in sharp contrast to the modern façade of its neighbor, the Kagoshima Prefectural Exchange Center. This Western-style, Neoclassical design was created by Sone Tatsuzō in 1925. Also spelled Tatsuzo Stone, he was one of the most accomplished Japanese architects of the late Meiji period. This structure is now the Prefectural Government Memorial Hall.
