A polygon-shaped building, it is in the Forest of Foreign Tree Species, which was also the setting for her masterpiece Hyoten (Freezing Point). The interior was renovated in April 2018 for its 20th anniversary. In the permanent exhibition on the first floor with the theme touch, panels and videos introduce the 35 years of Ayako's writing activities.
