(former Nagoya High Court)
A precious piece of cultural heritage used as a location for movies and dramas
Nagoya City Archives lies along the city's Cultural Path, dotted by many of the city's cultural spots. It was built in 1922 with the original purpose of Nagoya's court of appeals as well as the local and district court. The location was the judiciary of the greater Chubu area, in which Nagoya is located, until 1979 when Nagoya's high court and local court found a new home in the city's 1-chome area of San no Maru, Naka Ward. From 1989, it would go on to be used as Nagoya's public archives; preserving, collecting, and making available to the public the city's official documents.
The Nagoya City Archives is highly regarded for its historical cultural values and the building itself is designated a national important cultural property.
