A monument to the 547 Japanese soldiers who perished in battle or from disease during the 1874 punitive expedition against the Taiwanese Indigenous people of the area. It is located on the same hillside as the Commander Saigo Judo Monument, but the original stone stele has been lost, and the inscription removed, leaving only the base of this particular monument. Even so, it was awarded heritage status in 2011.

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.
