TaDa Eikichi House, Historic residence in Tamsui District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
TaDa Eikichi House is a residence from the 1930s in Tamsui featuring traditional Japanese architectural style with tatami mat flooring and spacious rooms. Many of the rooms overlook the Tamsui River, and the wooden structure blends Japanese design with local construction methods.
The house was built in the 1930s and belonged to Japanese businessman Tada Eikichi, who worked as a public official. His involvement in local development projects during that era shaped Tamsui's growth.
The house shows how Japanese living traditions blended with local building methods, visible in the materials and the way rooms are arranged.
The house is located on Mackay Street and is open daily except the first Monday of each month. Visitors should remove their shoes before entering to respect the traditional flooring.
The house preserves several cupboards filled with artifacts and documents that document Tamsui's commercial activity during the 1930s. These collected items offer visitors a direct window into the everyday business life of that era.
