    Take the bus from JR Niigata Station to Nishi Ohata Sakaue and walk just one-minute to this art and culture facility atop Dopperi-zaka steep. It is based in a modern Japanese home that was built in 1933 as a residence for the manager of the former Bank of Japan Niigata Office. Only two of these homes for pre-war Bank of Japan managers remain, this house and another in Oguratei in Fukushima Prefecture. It is now open to the public and can be used for business meetings and events. The Japanese style first floor is a multi-purpose space while the warehouse can be rented for galleries.
