The first floor consists of public spaces for the terakoya, including classrooms and staff lounges, as well as shared areas such as the kitchen, toilet, and bath. The second floor contains private spaces for Keine, including her study and bedroom. To prevent congestion, the guest flow is separated with the children who attend the terakoya entering from the garden side, while Keine and visitors use the main entry. The garden is planted with seasonal flora such as sweet osmanthus and cherry trees, serving as an educational space to teach the children about the changing seasons.
