Shiinoki Cultural Complex is in Kanazawa, Japan. It is housed in the former Ishikawa Prefectural Government Building, which was completed in 1924 and designed by architect Kenkichi Yabashi (1869–1927).[1] It is at 2-60 Hirosaka, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture on the south side of Kanazawa Castle Park.

It is the first building in Ishikawa Prefecture to adopt a reinforced concrete structure, and the oldest prefectural government building with a reinforced concrete structure in Japan.[2]

Two dome-shaped Japanese chinquapin trees stand in front of the building, which are estimated to be 400 years old.[3]

The building survived the U.S. air raids of World War II.

On June 24, 2021, it was registered as a tangible cultural property (buildings).[4]
