Historical Obata ('NK Agent') Building

This building featured in the 2009 Academy Award–winning Best Foreign Language film, Okuribito (おくりびと; Departures). You can't go in, but you'll see stills from the film signposted out the front. A bunch of other locations around town were used in the film, too – see the signs for directions.
