A small Shinto shrine established on May 15, 1940 in the mountains of southern Pingtung. The village name Subong (スボン) was later renamed Kasuga (春日) after the Japanese found it phonetically similar to the Paiwan community name Kasuvongan. The shrine consisted of a honden and three torii but no haiden, built on a hillside behind present-day Shiwen Road 39 (士文路39號). It was dismantled after the war, and the surviving platform was bulldozed in 1988. In official sources it was also known as Sut-bông Shrine (率芒祠), presumably a transliteration from Taiwanese Hokkien.

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.
