This second house and guesthouse of the owner consists of two buildings: the east building with three private rooms and the west building, which is expected to be used as a café as well as a dining room. The house is arranged at an angle to blend in with the surrounding environment of mountains and rivers, and while taking in the scenery of Akizuki, which is designated as an important traditional building preservation district, the appearance of the house resembles a row house gate that serves as an entrance to a garden.
