The storehouse facing the street is earthen misegura and designed in the kiritsumaand hirairistyle. The interior consists of a Japanese room with a dirt floor, while the second floor has a Japanese room with a shelf space and an alcove.
Facing the street, the storehouse is, as in bygone days, embellished with wooden latticework providing a rare sight in Shirakawa.
Although the roof is covered in tin, it had a stone-weighted roof when it was first constructed.
