An institutional shrine (構內社) located within the grounds of the Chiayi Sake Factory (嘉義酒工場) during the Japanese colonial era. Matsunoo (modernized as Matsuo) shrines are traditionally associated with sake brewing in Japan. It was dismantled sometime after the war and relics may have made their way to the main shrine in Chiayi for a period of time.

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.
