History of enoco
enoco is a facility newly opened in 2012, however, the building itself was built in 1938 with a modern architectural style as an auxiliary building of Industrial Research Institute of Osaka. Although the main building, the former Osaka Prefectural Office, was burnt down in air raid during the WWⅡ, this surviving annex is one of the few valuable pre-war modern buildings in Osaka.
