Built in 1922 by Tanaka Mining Company as a residence for Crown Prince Hirohito during a planned visit to inspect the Jinguashi gold mines. Although the prince never visited, the facility was used by the mining company to host distinguished guests from Japan. In the post-war era it was taken over by the state-owned metals company and renamed First Guesthouse (第一賓館). It was later transferred to Taipower and renovated for their own use as a leisure center and corporate retreat. It was recognized for its heritage value in 2007 and incorporated into the Gold Museum complex but is not regularly open to the public.
