Fun facts
The buildings were damaged during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake but suffered less than other structures due to their reinforced design with iron implanted between the bricks.
After World War II, the buildings were used by American occupation forces from 1945 to 1956.
The renovation work from 1994 to 1999 strengthened the roof and structure of the buildings before they reopened in 2002.
