The building, along with its garden and teahouse called Syojuan on the premises has been is designated as a Japanese tangible cultural property. The entire grounds, focusing on the garden and teahouse are registered as a treasured monument of Japan. The facility is now used for cultural activities for local citizens. Mr Mogi was a soy sauce baron, for which Noda, Saitama is famous and is the world headquarters for Kikkoman.
