Description

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is the country's central bank and the organization that issues the national currency. Established in October 10, 1882. It was as an authorized corporation with the role of stabilizing commodity prices and securing the financial system. The BOJ today conducts wide-ranging operations that extend to financial management and international transactions as well as distributing and controlling notes. The bank moved to its current location in April 1896. You can visit part of the Main Building (Old Building — still remaining the image of the old days and designated as an Important Cultural Property) including the basement vault used until 2004, and the first floor (bank transaction office) in the New Building. Advance reservations are required to tour the BOJ, and photo identification such as the passport must be presented to enter the buildings. A one-minute walk from the B1 Exit of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line.
