The current Ogakumonjo, like the Shishinden and Seiryoden, was built in Ansei 2 (1855). It is located southwest of the Otsunegoten, north of the Kogosho. It consists of six rooms, all entirely tatami matted. A corridor runs along the west side. The Goenzashiki (long, narrow tatami-matted area) surrounds three side of the six rooms. This palace features characteristics of the Shoin-zukuri style, such as a tokonoma (built-in alcove), staggered shelves, shoji screens, sliding doors, and tatami-matted floors.
