Menu board with three meal options, and opening hours 11:00-14:30.
Large empty hall, with a Buddhist altar at one end. Windows line the walls making it well-lit, so it’s far less obviously part of a prison than prior images.
A windowless freestanding brick building, maybe only just large enough to lie down in.
Smaller cells. These still have the barred window above the door, but the doors are heavy iron with only a small viewing slot closable from the outside, and no bars at ground level to see out of.

A small octagonal room-inside-a-room observation box, with two of the branching corridors visible behind it.
A small Shinto shrine — a simple cupboard-type shrine with an unpainted wooden torii gate in front (though it does at least have paper streamers as decoration). Photographed from a distance, with a flight of steps leading up to it.
