Rougetsu Hall is a building located on Rougetsu Island, once used as a luxurious sanatorium built with a blend of Eastern and Western styles. It was built in an attempt to cure Getsuyuu Syndrome, a psychological disorder characteristic to the island. Ruka Minazuki explores the old sanatorium in search of her lost memories. This location is also the primary exploration area for Fatal Frame IV. After the Day Without Suffering, Rougetsu Hall was abandoned along with the rest of the island.
History
Rougetsu Hall was built as an extension of Haibara Hospital, on the site of an old inn bearing the same name. In the Meiji Era, Dr. Kunihiko Asou had visited the island and stayed in the inn, and the room he used remained open to the public as the Kunihiko Asou Museum. In order to make room for the sanatorium, both the inn and a nearby shrine were demolished.[1]
The hall is decorated with masks and carvings and resembles a hotel, with its grand Entrance Hall, Dining Room, and central courtyard garden with a pool. It was designed to be as welcoming as possible to guests from outside the island, and certain areas remained open to the public.[2] Adjoining the aforementioned Asou museum, there is a Library containing books used about Getsuyuu Syndrome. The corridor connecting Rougetsu Hall with Haibara Hospital also contains a display of items connected with the island's history, notably a large cloudy moon carving and several masks. Each patient had a spacious private room, and only the wealthy or those with a connection to the Director were admitted.
In the basement of the hall is a room known as the Shrine of Mourning, where the faces of the dead were cut off to prevent Blooming.

Misc. Info
- The outside of the house was in one of the first six preview images of the game to be revealed.
- A mix of both Western and Japanese living styles were used, because the Western way of setting objects higher off the ground is more suitable for the third person over-the-shoulder gameplay that Fatal Frame IV uses.
- The hospital has four floors, and makes no attempt to avoid using the number four when referring to the floor in notes. This is unusual for a Japanese hospital, where use of the number four is usually considered taboo, since it is pronounced similarly to the word for death.
