Tamachi Funeral Hall, Historic funeral hall in Gushan District, Taiwan

The structure at 246 Gushan Second Road encompasses 114 ping of land and includes facilities that could accommodate 500 people during ceremonies.

Built in 1933 during Japanese rule, the funeral hall operated until the 1960s when it transformed into the Gushan Second Public Market.

The building represents a fusion of Japanese funeral practices and local Taiwanese traditions, marking a period of cultural transformation in Kaohsiung.

Located at coordinates 22.640173°N and 120.279744°E, the hall received official historic building status from Kaohsiung City in September 2017.

This funeral hall remains the sole surviving example of Japanese-era mortuary architecture in Taiwan, featuring original structural elements beneath market additions.
