A small Shinto shrine located next to Yiwan Catholic Church (宜灣天主堂) possibly dating back to October 1927, when it might have had the Japanese name Shajowan-shi. It is unclear whether anything remains of the original shrine, although Wikipedia mentions a pine tree from the original shrine can still be found on site. It is also known as Taihama-shi (大濱祠) in Japanese, presumably dating back to the 1937 name rectification campaign that swept through eastern Taiwan that year.

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.
