Hardly any trace remains of the primary unranked (無格社) Shinto shrine in Dahu. It was established in March 1941, replacing an earlier shrine, and after the war briefly served as a Martyrs’ Shrine before falling into disrepair and being absorbed into Dahu Junior High School (大湖國民中學). The base platform of the main hall and the steps up to the honden can still be made out beside the basketball courts. Apparently some relics were relocated to a park in Miaoli City while two stone lanterns are preserved at the nearby Fabao Monastery (法寶寺). It was likely known as Taigo-jinja in the original Japanese.

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.
