Originally constructed as a guesthouse by Japanese businessman Heitaro Ikeda in 1929 at the latest (and possible more than a decade earlier). In the post-war period the building changed hands multiple times before it was acquired by a bus company based in Kaohsiung and converted into a station (高雄客運六龜站). Recognized as a heritage property in 2003, it was eventually restored in 2020.

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.
