Perched on a hill overlooking Keelung Harbor, the Keelung Fort Commander's Official Residence offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Japanese military officer during the colonial period. The wooden structure, built in the early 20th century, features tatami rooms, sliding doors, and a veranda with panoramic views. Now a museum, it displays period furniture, photographs, and artifacts that tell the story of the fort's strategic importance. Visitors can explore the gardens and imagine the commander's daily routines while enjoying the sea breeze.
