Higashiyama Kusu-ju-en, completed in 1982, represents a notable example of elderly welfare facility design from Japan's early 1980s. Located in Segotaka, Yamato District, Fukuoka Prefecture, this structure was designed by Tasekkeikaku architects. The facility demonstrates the architectural considerations necessary for creating functional and dignified spaces for senior citizens during a period when aging populations were becoming increasingly significant in Japan. The building's design reflects both practical requirements for geriatric care and contemporary architectural sensibilities of the era.
