The entrance fee is cheap at 100 yen. You can only understand the beauty of the Great Hall unless you go there. Originally a Japanese restaurant, it now not only offers tours but also rents out rooms to the general public. If you like buildings, this is a place you definitely want to visit along with the prefectural office.

Great. The Japanese archictecture, interior design, and garden make for an other worldly experience. I have a theory that all the rectangles or the rice straw mats, and interior sluding doors, and window frames are of a variety of sizes such that at times smaller rectangles are nearer and bigger rectangles are further away (the reverse of normal perspectival effect on size) such that it becomes difficult for the brain to process the interior as a cartesian space, leaving you with the unprocessed pure experience or a tiny glimpse of enlightenment. The garden is especially beatiful in autumn. The main large room costs 100 yen to enter.
