On its vast green grounds, there are art museums, a glass studio, creative studio, and art-related store and restaurant from all over the country.
The area is also dotted with ateliers of artists based here.

The museum holds special exhibitions from time to time, and at the studio, visitors can try their hand at ceramics, glass art, and bamboo crafts.
In the pottery workshop, visitors can choose from a variety of pottery making techniques, such as hand-building tea bowls and plates, painting, and using an electric potter's wheel.
Visitors can also try their hand at glass blowing, ‘pin blow’ to inflate glass with water vapor, and sandblasting to carve patterns on glass cups to create original glasses.

In addition, a dozen art works, including sculptures and objets d'art, are exhibited on the 20-hectare site, and visitors can enjoy viewing them while strolling through the forest.
Visitors can enjoy a relaxing experience of art while listening to the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves.
