The exact date of construction is unknown but this office of the hokō system of community policing is allegedly a century old. It was, for many years, a police dormitory after the system was abolished. After many years of abandonment it was registered as a heritage property in 2019 but as of 2024 it remains in a neglected state. Ask at the front counter of the police station (舊館派出所) if you’d like to take closer pictures.

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.
