Hayashi Department Store

Hayashi Department Store rivals both Chihkan Tower and Anping Old Fort in cultural significance, housed in a 1930s Japanese Art Deco building with over 80% of original woodwork and iron gates preserved. Its rooftop garden offers panoramic Tainan views, providing a quieter alternative to busier historic sites. Daily foot traffic averages 2,000 visitors—40% fewer than Chihkan Tower's daily count—making it a serene spot for shopping and history.
