This building, which was constructed in 1934 by Goichi Takeda among others, is used as a reception area for followers and visitors alike.
Behind this building is the Audio-visual Hall, most of which is underground and is mainly lit naturally. It was built in commemoration of Rennyo's 500th Memorial Service in 1998, and was designed by the Japanese architect, Shin Takamatsu. This also contains altar rooms (butsuma), a reception room, and a gallery.
