THE LODGE, located in the center of F Village and connecting ES CON FIELD and its waterfront area, will serve as a base for information dissemination in F Village, where visitors can enjoy Hokkaido's rich natural environment through a variety of activities, and where new encounters and discoveries can be made. In addition to a store filled with local products where visitors can get to know the neighboring areas, the space will also serve as a tourism hub where visitors can experience outdoor activities and workshops and tour the surrounding areas. THE LODGE will be a place where visitors can gather and spend their time in F Village, a space where all people can recharge their body and spirit, by creating a community that brings excitement to the whole F Village.
Local Hokkaido materials (Hokkaido larch, Dounan cedar, and Ebetsu bricks) are used throughout the building, with a gently gabled roof that reflects the majestic mountain range, and an exterior mainly made of Hokkaido-style red brick and Dounan cedar, in a design that blends well with ES CON FIELD. As a warm feeling building that blends in with the nature of Hokkaido, it will be a space where visitors can enjoy the changes in nature throughout the ages.
