Taishō Roman-kan

Taishō Roman-kan, Western architectural site in Tamba-Sasayama, Japan.

Taishō Roman-kan is a Western-style building in Tamba-Sasayama featuring a distinctive facade and decorative architectural elements throughout its exterior. Inside, it houses a restaurant that serves both regional and internationally-inspired cuisine.

The building was constructed in 1923 as a modern municipal structure and underwent major restoration work before reopening in 1993. The renovation aimed to protect its historical architectural character.

The building represents a fusion of Japanese and Western design traditions, and the restaurant inside uses regional ingredients in its menu.

The site is open on most days but may close on certain weekdays, so it is worth checking ahead before visiting. Parking is available nearby with limited free time, so plan your visit accordingly.

The restaurant specializes in dishes featuring black soybeans, a regional specialty that reflects local agricultural traditions. This ingredient appears in several menu items and offers a genuine taste of what the area produces.
