Extensive repairs of the property were performed in 1988-1990, including re-erecting the ''shoin'' section which had been torn down, based on surviving documents and comparison with surviving ''honjin'' elsewhere. In the course of the project, numerous Edo period items were discovered, as well as new information about the construction of the building.<ref name=plaques/>

==Hatagoya==
The Seimei-ya 清明屋, a ''hatagoya'' adjoining the ''honjin'', is also maintained today and accessible as part of the ''honjin shiryôkan'' museum. It is five ''[[Japanese Measurements|ken]]'' (about nine meters) wide by 24 ''ken'' (about 44 meters) deep. Originally established sometime around [[1789]] to [[1801]], the current building dates to [[1817]]. Each of the successive heads of the Seimei-ya were known as Hachirobei.
Located immediately to the east of the ''honjin'', the Seimei-ya often housed ''[[karo|karô]]'' and other high-ranking ''daimyô'' retainers.
