Damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake, the current Nisshokan was built by Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1928 (1928).

It has a solid appearance.

In 1946, the stock exchange building was requisitioned by the U.S. military in 1946, so exchange trading was replaced for about three years.
A group transaction has been conducted at the Nisshokan, and since the end of World War II, it has become a building with a maximum of 35 securities companies.

(Currently, Peace Real Estate owns this building.)
