It is equipped with restrooms, vending machines, parking lots, and other facilities for anyone to use. The complex also has showers and locker rooms where visitors can wash off the sweat they have worked up on the riverbed. Fuji, Mt. Asama, Mt. Nantai, and Mt. Tsukuba can be viewed from the rooftop on clear days. The facility also sells reused furniture and clothing, educates visitors about the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), and holds environmental education classes and events.
