Roof:

roof gardenThere is a garden on the roof, designed by Miyazaki's son. Staff members take a break here, and it also contributes to save energy and cut the air conditioning cost. A corner of the garden is reserved as "untouchable" so that weeds can grow freely. .

Triceratops Miyazaki bought a replica of Triceratops skull fossil and placed it in the roof garden.
