It was used as the former Hotoku Bank Osaka branch during the Taisho era. Currently, it has been reborn as the patisserie Gokan Kitahama Honkan, and a sweet scent always wafts from the retro interior.

This is the restaurant where the ``Osaka Conference'' was held when former military figures of the Meiji Restoration gathered in Osaka. As a result, the foundation of Japan's constitutional government was laid. Founded in 1830, it has undergone several changes since then to take on its current form. A monument to the Osaka Conference remains in front of the store.

The building is based on the neo-renaissance style, but has baroque grandeur. The ceiling paintings and murals in the special room, painted by Hisashi Matsuoka using the arched roof, are a must-see.
