The site, located at an elevation of approximately 1,000 m, slopes gently in an east-west direction, and the roof is slanted in the same direction and one-sided, with the floor built on a high foundation to cope with snow accumulation. The exterior walls are clad in Japanese cedar Genpei shingle with small knots of rough-textured wood.
