Housed in a former school building, it includes a reading space, a gallery, and a cafe, and photography exhibitions are sometimes held here. In this calm space with a warm wooden feel, you can take a break while enjoying coffee made with Mt. Taisetsu spring water, among other options. It's a chance to experience the town's culture and daily life, a time unique to Higashikawa.
