Taisho Roman-kan was Sasayama's town hall from 1923 to 1992. The wooden building, with its small tower, bay windows and pale walls, was finished in 1922 and is a city cultural property. Since 1993 it has been a shop for Tamba-Sasayama's food and crafts, with a café and the Sasayama tourist information office inside. It faces the main road across from the castle grounds, so it is an easy first stop for maps and bus times. Entry is free. On autumn weekends and holidays, especially during black soybean season in October, the square in front is crowded and the shops are busy.
