Comment The Bamboo Pavilion is the main theme hall of the park, its exterior design representing the image of bamboo. The central tower resembles a bamboo shoot at the top, Kikko bamboo in the basement and a bamboo rhizome in the central structure. A musical instrument consisting of 270 pieces of bamboo trees lines the inside of a hall in the tower and imitates a pipe organ to play synthesized background fantasy music composed in the clear tones of shakuhachi bamboo flutes and shishi-odoshi (scare-deer). Inside the building, there is a bamboo workshop where you can view bamboo ware and crafts, and an exhibition room for bamboo products.
