A small Inari shrine that stood on the grounds of the Yamato Hotel (大和旅館) along Wenquan Road (溫泉路) in Beitou. In the post-war era the hotel was renamed Dahua Hotel (大華飯店) and repurposed as a dormitory for the Baituan (白團), a clandestine team of former Imperial Japanese Army officers employed by Chiang Kai-shek to train KMT military personnel, headquartered just up the street at the Beitou Kaikōsha. It was not open to the public. Nothing remains of either the shrine or the hotel today.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. 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). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
