Text description provided by the architects. The building is a playroom situated in the middle of a large forest west of Tokyo. It is a playroom that belongs to a kindergarten located 20 minutes away. Children travel by school bus to the forest every week for a few hours to play outdoors. The building resembles the mother nature of the site, which the local missionary seminary shares, and it is also designed with the character of a chapel. Visitors will walk through a flourishing forest on a small road, and up a small hill before arriving at this hut.
