Chiayi Attractions

日警官舍

This Japanese-style building is quite elegant in design and is built using local cypress wood, which has allowed it to remain well-preserved. During the Japanese occupation, the Tsou people had a very good relationship with the Japanese, referring to the Japanese as "maya." The Dabang area was the first Indigenous village where the Japanese established a "Native Children’s Education Institute," marking the beginning of modern education for the Tsou people. The Japanese police officer's residence is the only "annex" located in an Indigenous area in Taiwan, used to host high-ranking officials who came for inspections. After World War II, it served as the residence for the township chief and was renovated several years ago. Visitors should not miss this historical site when enjoying a walk in the area.

Address：Alishan Township, Chiayi County 605
