It has an almost square plan, with a three-row, three-tiered two-story gabled tiled roof on all four sides of the main building, and a one-and-a-half-bay shed mainly on the dirt floor and edge.
The movie "散り椿 (Chiri Tsubaki)" released in 2018 was filmed on the white-painted earthen wall of Amimoto's old house.
"瓜生新兵衛 (Uriu Shinbei)" played by 岡田准一(Junichi Okada) was used in the opening scene where he was attacked by assassins in the snow.
It seems that all this snow was actually salt.（Click here for the actual video）
