Chikuyoya Introduction
Ikeda House is located at No. 30 Huannan Street, Liouguei District, Kaohsiung City. It was formerly the Liouguei Station of Kaohsiung Bus, originally operated as an inn by a Japanese named Ikeda Hyotarou, thus named Ikeda House. It was later sold to Kaohsiung Bus to serve as the Liouguei Station, acting as a transportation hub for the mountain residents of Liouguei District, Maolin District, and Taoyuan District. Ikeda House has an "M" shape structure, consisting of three one-story buildings, and the current layout still reflects the original design of the building. The interior decoration and facilities of the guest rooms have been well preserved, making it a rare example of Japanese-style lodging architecture. It was registered as a historical building in 2003, and through historical and cultural preservation, this old Japanese house has been revitalized to tell its stories and showcase its past glory. A recommended visit duration is about 1 hour, where you can take photos around the park and learn about its historical changes through the explanatory panels and old photographs on the walls.
