Located in Chiayi City, Taiwan, Hinoki Village is a charming cultural spot that preserves Japanese-era wooden houses built during the early 1900s. Once used as dormitories for forestry workers, these beautifully restored hinoki (cypress) structures now host quaint shops, tea houses, and cultural exhibits. Walking through the village feels like stepping back in time, with its wooden architecture, peaceful pathways, and nostalgic atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy local crafts, traditional snacks, or simply sit and soak in the calm surroundings. Hinoki Village is more than just a heritage site—it’s a window into Taiwan’s history, blending Japanese influence with Taiwanese culture in a way that feels both unique and timeless.
