A small Shinto shrine established in October 1941 in the Sakae Immigrant Village (榮移民村) in Citong, Yunlin. The village was founded by graduates from a nearby vocational school. According to historical records the shrine was on the east side of the Zhongyuan (中園) settlement, which is now open farmland, and it doesn’t appear as if anything remains. It was also known simply as Sakae-sha (榮社) or, in modern academic discourse, as Sakae Immigrant Village Shrine (榮移民村社).

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.
