Taichung Shiyakusho, Cafe and art gallery in West, Taichung, Taiwan
Taichung Shiyakusho is a historic building from the Japanese colonial period that now serves as a museum and café. The structure blends traditional Japanese architecture with local design elements, allowing visitors to explore the city's past through exhibitions and preserved interior spaces.
The building was constructed during Japan's rule over Taiwan and originally served as the city's administrative center. After the war ended, it underwent various uses before being transformed into its current role as a cultural institution.
