A Story That Began with an Experience in Taiwan

When I was a student, I studied abroad in Taiwan—my very first time living overseas.
I didn’t understand the language or the culture, and every day felt confusing.

But what supported me was the warmth of the people in Taiwan.
They helped me when I was in trouble, offered kindness without expecting anything in return, and showed me how meaningful human connection can be.

Later, I returned to Taiwan again with my family, and the kindness shown toward my children left a lasting impression.

These experiences naturally shaped a desire within me:
“To pass on the warmth I once received.”
“To provide comfort and connection to travelers from around the world.”

The Meaning Behind the Name “House FORMOSA”

FORMOSA is another name for Taiwan, meaning “beautiful island.”
For me, Taiwan is a place that changed my life, and the word also carries a sense of connection with Japan, as both are island nations. That is why I chose it as the name of this accommodation.

The House FORMOSA logo is inspired by the two islands—Japan and Taiwan.
It reflects my desire to share the warmth, kindness, and sense of comfort I once received,
with guests visiting Nagoya from all around the world.
