Formar Imperial Audience Hall
The remains found during excavations are preserved and exhibited in a protection facility called Oiya. Also worth seeing are excavated artifacts such as well frames and wooden gutters, as well as building models such as the Imperial Palace (Emperor's residence), which have been restored based on research. Like the First Daigokuden, Suzakumon Gate, and Toin Garden, it is a facility established and owned by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
