Tokyo J - Shinjuku Gyoen Park Kyu Goryotei - Taiwan Pavilion 04
The Taiwan Pavilion was built in 1927 to commemorate the beginning of the Showa (Enlightened Peace) era.
The building was donated in 1927 by volunteer Japanese residents of Taiwan and designed by Matsunosuke Moriyama. This building is designed in the style of the then predominant architectural styles of Southern China (Fujian) (Minnan architecture). and it is considered a valuable piece of architecture as there are very few authentic Chinese-style buildings in Japan. In 1945, the gardens were almost completely destroyed during an air raid.
Only the Taiwan Pavillion (Goryotei Pavillion) was the only building to survive the bombing. After the war, the garden was opened to the public in 1949.
