The Kishi Kinen Taiiku Kaikan ( Japanese 岸 記念 体育 会館 , German about "Kishi Memorial Sports House", English "Kishi Memorial Gymnasium" or Kishi Memorial Hall ) was an office building in Tokyo 's Jinnan district in the center of the Shibuya district of the prefecture Tokyo , which was the seat of numerous national sports associations. The building, which opened in 1964, was named after Kishi Seiichi , a sports official in the empire who was, among other things, president of the sports association, a member of the International Olympic Committee and a member of the Japanese mansion. The building was demolished in 2020. The sports federations have moved to the Japan Sports Olympic Square near the New National Stadium in Shinjuku .

A first sports store - an early design by the later famous architect Tange Kenzō - was opened in 1941 with funds from Kishi's estate in Surugadai in the then Kanda district (today: Chiyoda district ). Today's Kishi Kinen Taiiku Kaikan was opened for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo .
