Official office and residence

Official office and residence of the Daijō-daijin

The official office and residence of the Daijō-daijin is called the Korokan (鴻臚館). The original Korokan was located in Kaijo, the former capital of Teiko and it was used as official residence from 1872 until 1990. During the construction of a new capital, the new building was designed in the same style as the original although a few alterations were made and the former Korokan was turned into a heritage site. The building's design features traditional Teikonian architecture and many elements of the old Korokan was replicated in the new Korokan. It is located adjacent to the center of Dazaifu, the location of many of the government ministry offices.
