history
In April 1959, the "Bunkyō City Hall" ( English for the 文 京 公会 堂 Bunkyō kōkaidō , about " City Hall Bunkyō" [in the sense of municipal event hall, not kuyakusho / "District Council Hall" / "City Hall"]) was built at the location . It served as the venue for the first Japan Record Awards . It was initially used as an event space. In 1977 a fire protection violation was discovered by the Japanese government, which subsequently closed the building. The government ordered the demolition of the City Hall and replaced it in 1994 with the Bunkyō Civic Center .
