Huwei Former Registration Office - Japanese relics in Yunlin

Huwei Registration Office (雲林記憶Cool (原虎尾登記所))

The Huwei Registration Office, formerly known as the "Tainan District Court Huwei Branch Office," was established in April 1921. Its main purpose was to handle local real estate registration business in Huwei, Erlun, Lunbei, Xilou, and other nearby villages. The original office was too small, so it was relocated and expanded to its current site in 1930. The storage platform and cabinets in the registration office are still intact, serving as important witnesses to the land property rights system established during the Japanese rule. After the war, it was also used as a court warehouse. In 2012, the Yunlin County Government registered it as a historical building. Currently, it is operated by the Taiwan Public Welfare CEO Association.

The place is quite small and consists of two buildings. The front building houses a collection of books, some of which are in English and German. Among the books, I noticed one about Germany and Poland, which discussed the war. Behind the front building, there is an office area with a small table and chairs where visitors can sit and watch a short movie about the history of the place. In the garden area, there is also a Japanese-style building in very poor condition. It is not recommended to go inside as it could be dangerous.
