[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Former residence of Tada Eikichi (Updated Jul)

Freshwater is some more north of Taipei, and there are fresh water lines that can be reached directly. Freshwater historical tourist area, once had a high status and has many celebrities' former residences. The White House is the official residence of the Customs and Taxation Department of the Danshui Customs during the Qing Dynasty. It is a three-level monument in Taiwan, but for me it feels that there is not much special, it is an ordinary bureaucrat, and the tickets are included in the city of Rambutan. Conversely, the former residence of Danshui Rongji, the freshwater street at that time, gave a bright impression: the door with the corner open, no tickets or management staff, blame it, a Japanese building full of wind chimes, if there is a cup of tea It is very pleasant! Because there are no managers, please visit the friends to take off their shoes, and dont tamper with the things inside.

Take a bus from Tamsui MRT Station, passing through a small neighborhood, and you'll come across a traditional residence with red tiles and wooden pillars. This is the **Tada Eikichi Residence (多田榮吉故居)**. Built in 1937, this wooden structure was once the home of Tada Eikichi, a Japanese businessman and the mayor of Tamsui. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a Japanese-style garden and a serene wooden floor. After changing into indoor slippers placed on the floor, you can quietly walk through the tatami rooms. Through the windows, you'll see picturesque views—lifting your gaze, you'll find the Tamsui River and the distant Guanyin Mountain, creating an atmosphere of utmost tranquility.

The Former Residence of Tada Eikichi is located halfway up the Puding Hill, facing south with a slope behind and a steep embankment in front. The elevated site offers a panoramic view of the Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain. The original site was the farmland of Xuehai Academy during the Qing Dynasty. This residence is built with red cypress wood, and the rain boards on the exterior walls, the black tiles on the roof, and the flat beam ceiling inside the house are still preserved to this day. It was also one of the earliest residences in the Tamsui area to have running water, marking a significant milestone in the development of Taiwan's water supply system at the time. This historical significance is one of the most commemorative values of the residence. The Former Residence of Tada Eikichi was designated as a historic site in April 2005 and is now a designated historic site in New Taipei City. 📍Address: No. 19, Mackay Street, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, 251 🕰️Business Hours: 09:30–17:00

📍 Tada Eikichi Mansion 🏨 Unique charm of this place: Tada Eikichi Mansion is a hidden gem in Danshui that you can visit for free!

It is not just a tourist attraction, but a meaningful space where you can get a glimpse of Danshui's past and traces of Japanese culture. 📝 My review: When you visit Danshui, you will arrive naturally via Hongmaoqing → Jinli University! It is a great place to stop by without any special plans. The mansion itself is small and cozy, but when you take a picture, it creates an atmosphere like a scene from a Japanese movie.

#Overseas travel 🌍 Taiwan was once a Japanese colony, so there was a Japanese tycoon's mansion in Danshui! 🌍 I went in because it was on the way to Danshui Hongmaoqing! 🌍 The old house itself had a nice garden, and the interior felt like a Japanese house? 🌍 It's good for a quick look around, but it rained a lot on the day I went, so I couldn't really see the garden, which was a shameㅜㅜ 🌍 The view from the Tada Eikichi Mansion is also pretty, so I recommend stopping by at least once if you're going to Danshui:)
