In 1996 it was registered as a national tangible cultural property, and was later designated as a historic architectural structure by the city of Kyoto.
In 2018, the entire building, which blends into Kyoto’s historical landscape, was seismically reinforced, while the exterior was preserved and restored, and the interior facilities were completely refurbished.

One of the new features added after the large-scale construction work was the flattening of the first floor seating. The seating area and stage have been integrated into one space, making it possible to hold more immersive events. By using the open space for events with customer participation and parties, various possibilities become possible.
