ASAHIGAOKA Command Center

ASAHIGAOKA Command Center is an underground military facility near Keelung in Zhongzheng District with multiple levels connected by passages carved into the mountain. The structure includes various rooms and chambers that functioned as the nerve center for coordinating operations.

The facility was built during the Japanese colonial period and served as a strategic coordination point for defense operations until 1945. After that year, the site underwent changes in use and eventually opened to preserve this chapter of history.

The center displays military artifacts and documents reflecting Taiwan's defense strategies and how people experienced wartime conditions. The exhibits show what daily life and community concerns looked like during this period of history.

Wear comfortable shoes since the underground passages include stairs and narrow corridors that require steady footing. Plan your visit ahead to learn about tour availability and the best way to reach the facility.

The facility preserves original communication equipment from the 1940s, including radio systems and telegraph machines actually used during operations. These devices show the technology that was relied on to transmit orders and maintain control across the defensive network.
