The Meiji Kinenkan, or Meiji Memorial Hall, was originally built in [[1881]] as a secondary imperial residence. Also known as Kenpô Kinenkan, or Constitution Memorial Hall, it was later the site of several top-level meetings at which the [[Meiji Emperor]] met with [[Ito Hirobumi|Itô Hirobumi]] and other top members of the [[Meiji government]] to discuss and draft the [[Meiji Constitution]].
The building was later given over to the control of the nearby [[Meiji Shrine]], and was officially renamed "Meiji Kinenkan" in 1947.
