Ikeda House

Located at No. 38, Huanan Street in Kaohsiung County, the Ikeda House is the former Liugui station from the Kaohsiung Bus company. Its Japanese name comes from its days spent as a hotel operated by Ikeda Hyotaro. As Liugui station, the Ikeda House was a transportation hub for hillside residents from Liugui, Maolin, and Taoyuan to the city.

Formed by three one-story buildings, this U-shaped compound has retained its original architectural design to this day, making it a rare Japanese hotel-style building and earning its mark as a historic landmark in 2003. After historical and cultural restorations, this old building can continue to tell its story to the world.

Visitors are encouraged to spend approximately 1 hour here to take pictures and to understand its changes throughout the years via signs and old pictures on its walls.

Historic building. In December of the 15th year of Taisho (1926), the camphor industry in Liugui declined, and the "fan damage" tended to be stable, thus attracting a new wave of land development people. hub. These mobile populations brought business opportunities for lodging and transportation. A Japanese-style hotel like Ikedaya was completed and opened in about Showa 4 (1929), and the owner was Heitaro Ikeda. In July of Showa 9 (1934), Hyotaro Ikeda passed away, and the business was taken over by his daughter Miyo Ikeda and son-in-law Akiyoshi Ikeda. After World War II, Miyo Ikeda and Akiyoshi Ikeda were repatriated to Japan. Ikeda House was taken over by Liugui Farmers Association Credit Union due to outstanding debts. In the 42nd year of the Republic of China (1953), the Kaohsiung Passenger Transport Company leased it, and in the 50th year of the Republic of China (1961), it was purchased. Some buildings were demolished and the overall space function was adjusted to Kaohsiung Passenger Transport Liugui Station.

In December of the 15th year of the Taisho Period (1926), the camphor industry in the Liugui area declined, and the "fan damage" tended to be stable, thus attracting a new wave of people for land development.

Passing by Liugui Old Street, I saw this Japanese-style building and walked in to visit it, but it didn't seem to feel open! Most of the interior decorations are empty, only the iron plate logo of Kaohsiung Bus. Is it not open for visits on weekdays or is it still under preparation? Kaohsiung Liugui District Office Global Information Website: In order to develop the camphor industry, the Japanese have strictly controlled the camphor forests in Taiwan. In order to effectively isolate and expel these "fans" they called, the Japanese deployed additional police forces, and a large number of Japanese people came in and out. The main function of Ikeda House is to receive Foreign Japanese, military garrison or used as Japanese police dormitory. As the only hostel and rest place for the Japanese military and police who entered the Liugui Mountain Tribe on the plains, Ikeda House has a very important historical significance in the history of the development of mountainous areas in Kaohsiung County during the Japanese colonial period.

Revitalizing the old street combined with the Catholic Church Hongjingyuan business Tianmangong (image construction), etc. Leisurely strolling around the scenic spots Originally built for the development of forest products in Japan during the Japanese occupation era, it was transferred from Liugui Township Office to Kaohsiung Passenger Transport and changed to Liugui Transfer Station. The best traffic points in and out of the six turtles. The memories of the six turtles are preserved. The original Japanese-style building, the original door, the tatami board, the wall cabinet, the toilet, the bathroom, the changed waiting room, the ticket gate, and the ride-on and off point are currently managed by Evergreen University.

After entering Liugui Old Street, there is a very Japanese-style street. Unfortunately, it was at night, so I didn't see the exhibition. It happened to be the art and culture season. The atmosphere and the feeling of literature and art, because it is night, so I can see the lanterns lit on the street... But Ikeda House (tea ceremony exhibition) and Hong Jingyuan store (Wu Baiyi collection exhibition, creation of paintings and dinner plates) can't go in and appreciate it. , They exhibited until the end of February. The Ikeda House was originally a hotel created by the Japanese in 1929. Now it is a century-old house. From the entrance of Liugui Old Street, there is a feeling of exotic scenery... Even the road signs have a feeling
