Hatoyama Hall

Established in 1924, Hatoyama Kaikan is an important venue for post-war politics such as the negotiations on the resumption of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the merger of conservative parties. It often attracts attention together with former Prime Minister Hatoyama Ichiro. The hall was fully renovated in 1996. The building was designed by Mr. Okada Shinichiro, a close friend of the former Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama. The theme of the building is pigeons, and it combines Western styles. The stained glass is also a major feature. The garden of the hall is dominated by the roses that Hatoyama Ichiro loves, and all kinds of flowers bloom throughout the year, making the garden very beautiful.
