The Agency for Cultural Affairs records it as a timber building, two storeys with a single-storey part, with a tiled roof and a building area of 63 square metres; registration number 45-0032, with no owner listed.

Why It Was Registered
The Suzuki Ryokan North Annex was registered as a building that contributes to the historic landscape of the country. Nichinan City lists the Suzuki Ryokan among the cultural properties that tell the story of the port town of Aburatsu and the Horikawa Canal (Nichinan City).
What to Look For
The Suzuki Ryokan North Annex stands north of the west main building, four bays by three, with a hip-and-gable (Irimoya-zukuri) pantile roof and one guest room on each floor (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
A small single-storey guest wing is attached to the north. Added when Aburatsu harbour was flourishing in the early Showa period, it is valued for what it shows of the inn's growth at that time (Agency for Cultural Affairs, Nichinan City).
