It was constructed on the site of an aging rest area in Osaka Castle Park before the 1995 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and was used as an unofficial meeting place, and also hosted the 2019 G20 Osaka summit dinner on 28 June.^[2][3][4][5] Note that although this APEC meeting was effectively an official meeting, it was treated as an unofficial meeting because representatives from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan attended.^[6] The building's architecture is in the traditional style and part of it is currently used as a restaurant by reservation only.^[7][8]

The building is used for MICE tourism.^[9][2]
