A set of old wooden houses reserved for police officers and officials of the hokō system of community policing. After earning heritage status in 2012 they were eventually completely refurbished, and one now operates as a posh café and restaurant.

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.
