- Sheds stood side by side in front of Nicchitsu Kaikan. Each shed has its own number such as “No.6”, “5”. Those were built for labor dispute and also served as accommodations for organizers. There was the union headquarters on the left. The Nicchitsu Kaikan, a company-owned building with a wooden floor, housed facilities including a Judo dojo. This building was normally used by sports clubs of the technical school, but occupied by the union during the dispute.
- The site where the Nicchitsu Kaikan used to be is now a car dealership.
