Shiohama Shinto Shrine (鹽濱祠) - Spectral Codex

Established in December 1938 in the coastal Amis Indigenous village of Kahciday (加只來) and lost after the war. A stone pedestal remains within sight of the Pacific Ocean. The location is hidden within the foliage along a scenic coastline (八嗡嗡海岸) and may be difficult to reach, as there is no clear path. Entrance is from the old highway right along the coastline; head north through the long grass from some abandoned buildings with a view of the sea just south of the site. Location is approximate. Also known as Yanbin Shrine in a Chinese language context. Full credit to Li Boren (李伯仁) for providing the most complete instructions about how to locate this lost shrine.
