Hinoki Village, Japanese colonial cultural center in East District of Chiayi, Taiwan.

Hinoki Village contains 28 wooden buildings spread across 3.4 hectares, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and construction techniques.

The site originated as residential quarters for forestry officials during Taiwan's Japanese colonial period, with structures dating back to the early 1900s.

The T19 Forest Club building combines Japanese and Western architectural elements from the Meiji period, representing the cultural exchange of that era.

Visitors can access the outdoor areas 24 hours daily, while indoor exhibitions operate from 10:00 to 18:00, with free guided tours available.

The Tree-ring Plaza displays three red-cypress sculptures that represent the Sacred Tree of Alishan and mark the entrance to the village.
