It is built in the irimoya-zukuri (a hip-and-gable roof construction) with a thatched roof, and measures 7.5 ken* (14.3 meters) in length and 5 ken (9.5 meters) in beam length.
The room layout is in the “ancient four-floor plan” style, consisting of an Oku-zashiki (inner room), a 21-tatami-mat Omote-zashiki (outer room), a kitchen, a back room, and an earthen floor.
