Sanpintaku(本田三一宅)

What was once a timber-built official residence in the Japanese style owned by the Xinying County Government was built in the 10th Year of the Showa Era (1935) by  Sanpin Honda (本田三一), a Japanese builder. Red cypress was used extensively throughout the house and its fragrance can be smelled when you approach. This precious example of Japanese architecture in Tainan is now usually used as an art space for promoting Taiwanese tea culture and experiencing Japanese tea ceremonies. Enjoy a rare moment of elegant serenity by enjoying tea and snacks while sitting on the tatami and looking out at the Japanese garden.
