The ruins of a former restaurant likely dating back to the Japanese colonial era. Not much is left of the structure and it could easily be confused for a garage in this otherwise unremarkable alleyway. Netizens suggest inscription might still be discernible on either side of the former entrance; watch for wakan (和漢) and kaishi (會席), together meaning “Japanese and Chinese dining together”.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
