The Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence is a beautifully restored wooden dormitory from the Japanese colonial period, now operated as a museum. Visitors can explore the traditional Japanese-style rooms, tatami floors, and sliding doors, which have been carefully preserved to reflect the living quarters of customs officials. The site provides insight into the daily life and architecture of the era, with exhibits that include period furniture and photographs. It's a quiet, educational stop that complements the nearby Customs Wharf.
