Built in February 1930, part of a wave of Shinto shrine construction in this part of Taiwan. Very little remains of the former Shinto shrine just outside the village of Taromak. Apparently a concrete base can be found if you root around in the foliage on a nearby hill, but this may be old information.

This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there).
