A good choice to visit if you like historical buildings. Unfortunately there is no english text, but admiring the architecture is more than enough for me. It stands out from the other buildings in the area with the unique architecture. Keep in mind it might be hot (when it's sunny) as there are no trees nearby, wear a hat if you dislike the sun.

It’s quiet. Not a popular tourist spot, but I quite like the whole atmosphere. This is the place Japanese royal family usually stayed in Taiwan. And there are some furniture shops upstairs.

Good atmosphere~

This is a nicely restored historical building that houses a cafe and has various displays of private collection of ceramic tea pots and cups for sale, as well as some amazing wooden cabinets ($$$$$). Good place to taking your time to browse the history of Japanese-occupied era while enjoying the air conditioning. 😊

Historical building, very well maintained and nicely decorated; also have some nice boutique shops

One of my favorite places in Tainan! An elegant building with history, shops inside, very cute brands and a cafe. You can also do picnic here.

If you are interested in stuff related to the Japanese prince who visited in 1923, then you might like the place.

A beautiful restored probably early 20th century British colonial architecture nestled in a quiet neighborhood in the east district of Tainan city. The current occupants are comprised of a store with merchandises displaying on shelves, tabletops and everywhere is possible, a small eatery and even a bar downstairs. I guess those tenants pay rent to the property management and keep the building well maintained so visitors can tour the building admission free. According to the on-site directory, there is a seminar room and they could also cater an indoor or outdoor fancy banquet for 10-12. Just imagine sitting in its old dinning room surrounded by food servers dressed in clothing stye hundred years old. Nah, it's off the chart.

Like this building and氛圍。Good for shopping local 手信too

This is a small place with history. Nice architectural for picture taking. Inside it is a small shopping mall and cafe. Visitors usually leave after taking pictures. A place where it will take at between 20 to 40 minutes of visiting time.
