The house is a Yamato-gumi style structure, a regional architectural style, and is over 100 years old, having been built in January 1910.

The kitchen is also bright, with a window, and is equipped with a system kitchen and a gas stove. The property uses propane gas, which offers strong heat for cooking and bathing and allows for quicker recovery in the event of a disaster. The bathroom features a reheating function and a bathroom dryer. The washstand is independent, making it convenient for makeup and grooming, and is equipped with a shower.
