The building was built in 1925 as a former pilgrimage lodge and later became a residence. It is characterised as a dashigeta-zukuri (house with protruding longitudinal beams). Originally there was a doma (dirt floor) running from the entrance to the back (south) of the house, but the southern section was rebuilt in 1976 to have the present two gabled roofs. The building was vacant for a while, but after being reactivated by an IT company and used as a satellite office of the Tokushima Bunri University since 2016, it is now being used as “Minami-cho Monzen-machi Regeneration Exchange Office”, an exchange facility for companies from different fields since 2020.
