Exploring the 1961 Showa Era - A Time Capsule in Ximending

Step into 1961 Japan - right in the heart of Taipei.
Tucked away on the 4th floor of Nichiyaku Honpo in Ximending, the 1961 Happiness Showa Era Museum brings a charming Showa-era street to life. From an old-school candy shop and cozy bathhouse to a traditional pharmacy and quiet tea house, every corner is filled with retro details, vintage packaging, and heartwarming nostalgia. It’s a delightful time capsule that takes you back to simpler days, with all the charm of 1960s Japan.
