It stands in Chuoh-koen or Central Park. The artworks collected by a local bank are displayed.

The premises are surrounded by cloisters and the circular display room is in the center. Its site plan might remind you of a Buddhist temple. Many recent museums are built in an open style but this enclosed space will be a unique approach as well.
