The property sits on a sunny, flat plot of approximately 55 tsubo (180.66㎡). The wooden, two-story building has been expanded over time and now offers a substantial total floor area of roughly 65 tsubo (214.47㎡). The former shop space, including a storage area, measures 16 tatami mats and retains its retro barber equipment, adding unique character. The second floor features a series of connected Japanese-style rooms complete with a tokonoma (alcove), evoking the atmosphere of a traditional inn. The property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, and public sewer systems. Parking is available, with space for at least two light vehicles.
According to the building notes, an extension was added in Showa 59 (1984), though the specific month is unknown. The structure features a tile and galvanized steel sheet roof. The land is zoned as an Unspecified Use District within a non-designated urban planning area, with a building coverage ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The property fronts a 6.5-meter wide paved public road on its east side.
The surrounding area provides essential amenities, including a convenience store about 250 meters away. For a deeper cultural experience, the city of Tōno is renowned as the setting for the folk tales collected in "Tōno Monogatari" (The Legends of Tōno), offering a rich tapestry of folklore and tradition. A major regional landmark is the stunning Gohyaku Rakan (Five Hundred Arhats) statues carved into the cliff face at nearby Chūson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi, a UNESCO World Heritage site approximately an hour's drive away.
