The only Meiji building among the nine, this two-storey annex north-west of the main house holds a small room, bath and privy, and links to the house by a corridor.

A closed plaster storehouse at the corner where the estate's north-east and north-west edges meet. Three by two bays, it held household utensils with the west store.

Built in 1907 as the residence of American citizen M.J. Shea, Kitano Monogatarikan is a colonial-style wooden Western house in Kobe's historic Kitano district.

Built in 1927 as a social hall for the merchants of Hyogo-no-tsu, the Former Okakata Club is a nationally registered tangible cultural property that miraculously survived both the Kobe air raids of WWII and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995.
