La Collina is the flagship store of the confectionery store Taneya headquartered in Omihachiman that specializes in baumkuchen. In addition to the confectionery stores there are cafes, restaurants, gift shops, farms and gardens on the premises designed by Terunobu Fujimori and Hiroshi Nakatani. The extraordinary architecture style of Fujimori is revealed in the grass roof where the main shop is located, and the copper roof where the head office is located not to mention the corridor called Hundred Chestnuts. The gardens that is spread out in front of the grass roof and copper roof are rice fields and agricultural land. The stones that are arranged are called "seven stones" and in some sense this is a traditional Japanese garden where there are stones set with many elements in it. Some of the stones are named Horaiyama and Funeishi resembling Zen gardens. These Landscapes Were Designed By Kunihiko Shigeno and Terunobu Fujimori.
