Asou Museum Kanji 麻生記念室　（あそう　きねん　しつ） Game Located at Rougetsu Hall Function Museum Status Deserted

A moderately sized room in Rougetsu Hall, that has been set up as a museum to the works of Dr. Kunihiko Asou. There are quite a number of Camera Obscuras under glass and on display, a desk with a typewriter, and various news clippings/personal notes by the famous folklorist/occultist. On the wall to the right of the door, there is also a faded picture of Asou himself. This is one of the first explorable areas of the hall for both Madoka and Ruka, who find the same Camera Obscura here.

It is also where the first ghost fight of Fatal Frame IV takes place.
