Established in either February 1930 or November 1932 depending on which sources you consult. The site was completely dismantled after the war, when the settlement was renamed Dianguang (電光), but up until the late 2000s, the original torii was on display at Dianguang Catholic Church (電光天主堂). Nothing remains now. Known as Raikōka-shi in 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.
