Hayashi Department Store (Japanese: ハヤシ百貨店, Hepburn: Hayashi Hyakkaten), commonly called "Five-story Building" (Chinese: 五層樓仔; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gō͘-chàn-lâu-á), was situated in Suehirochō (末廣町), Tainan City, Tainan Prefecture, Japanese Taiwan. It was originally completed and opened on 5 December 1932, during Japanese rule. Upon completion, the building was one of two such stores in Taiwan with state-of-the-art features of elevators. The building was bombed by the United States airplanes at the end of World War II. After refurbishment, the building began to be restored in 2006.[2] It was finally reopened on 14 June 2014 in a ceremony presided by Tainan Mayor William Lai.[3]
