An unranked Shinto shrine (無格社) established in either 1923 or June 1937 in a small village east of Douliu, Yunlin. Unlike some of the others in the hinterland of Yunlin’s capital this one was not a branch shrine of the main shrine in town. Instead, it was built in association with the nearby sugar factory (斗六製糖所) to commemorate Crown Prince Hirohito’s 1923 tour of Taiwan (臺灣行啟). Nothing is known to remain. Likely known as Dairon-sha 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.
