Former Sanwa Bank (Shinhama Ekimae)

Hamasen was once Kaohsiung's financial center, boasting thriving commerce and numerous financial institutions. 'Ekimae Dori' (Station Front Avenue) in front of Takao Station earned the moniker 'First Street of Finance' and is a significant historical site in Kaohsiung. The Former Sanwa Bank was originally the 'Thirty-Fourth Bank Kaohsiung Branch', established in 1921, operating as a branch of a Japanese bank in Taiwan.
