The interior has been completely refurbished into a unique and modern Japanese style.

According to the building notes, the interior was renovated in 2005 (Heisei 17) and the exterior was renovated in 2015 (Heisei 27). Please note: the water pipe in the bath has burst (estimated repair cost: 23,000 yen) and the heated toilet seat is currently out of order.

For an interesting local fact, Numata City is famous for its 'Daruma' dolls, a traditional craft symbolizing perseverance and good luck.
