It is a small home that overlooks greenery and blue waters on the many islands of the [Japanese archipelago](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate). The house is detailed with a dining pavilion. The home is inspired by 'shukobo' lodgings that are often operated by temples and shrines. It is built under the name known as dokubo and is used as a space for children to enjoy. The house features five areas for sleeping along with a shower and toilet as well. The main residential space rests above the guest house and it is connected by a sleek metal staircase or visitors can enter through the back.
