Built as the school building for Jiyu Gakuen,
designed by the American master Frank Lloyd Wright.

The skylight just inside the main building
features wooden window frames assembled like a puzzle.

The large hall window, which is also a symbol of this place, has a beautiful geometric design.

The dining hall is also lovely.

Admission is 500 yen, and for an additional 300 yen, you can enjoy a coffee set here.

The auditorium in the annex
is filled with soft light,
and the benches left as they were back then create a retro atmosphere.

It is open to the public as a model of “dynamic preservation,” maintaining and preserving an important cultural property while still in use,
and is available for various purposes.

Class reunions, seminars, concerts, social gatherings, and more!
It can also be used for weddings.

The spacious lawn garden
and the hall with geometric windows would make for a memorable and wonderful ceremony.

Additionally,
public lectures and events are held where you can continue learning at your own pace.
