The facility's all-purpose hall, which is free of admission, serves as a venue for irregular events including exhibitions by professional artisans, cultural classes, miniature concerts, and recitals. Users of the paid lounge on the second floor can have soba noodles delivered from the attached soba restaurant, Zenjuan."

    Oita Nakatsu-shi
    This traditional Japanese umbrella workshop can be reached by heading straight down the road in front of the north exit of Nakatsu Station.

The shop primarily makes one of a kind items diligently crafted one at a time by hand in line with customer specifications. In addition to various traditional Japanese umbrellas, the shop also accepts orders for lampshades and paper lanterns which employ umbrella-based designs. As the shop's products are made to order, prospective customers are recommended to call in advance to convey their specifications and requests.
