Kyoto International Conference Center
The Kyoto International Conference Center ( Japanese 国立 京都 国際 会館 Kokuritsu Kyōto kokusai kaikan , German 'State International Conference Center Kyoto' ), ICC Kyoto for short , is a large conference center in the northeastern district of Sakyō-ku in the Japanese city of Kyoto .
The building goes back to plans by Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi to expand Japan as a conference venue of international standing. Parliament approved the construction on September 14, 1959 and the groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 19, 1962. The building, designed by the architect Sachio Dastani , opened in 1966 and expanded in 1973. Today the conference center has an area of 156,000 m², divided into the large conference hall with a large, 2,000-person hall and a number of smaller rooms, the annex hall, which can accommodate 1,500 people, and an event hall.
The international agreement on climate protection , named after the surrounding city of Kyoto, was adopted in the conference center .
