Located in Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, this facility is a hub for agricultural exchange, selling local products and specialties. Vertical and horizontal forces are borne by diagonally-glued pillars called "KIKKA" made of locally-produced cedar logs, and a 24-meter-square large roof is built on top of the building with two layers of wood that look like a vineyard with branches and leaves folded on top of each other.
