Former Shinto shrine in the Bunun village of Litu (利稻) in the mountains of Taitung. It was likely constructed in 1927 or 1936, although this may mean that the shrine was upgraded or modified at some point. It is uncertain whether any relics remain; on-site inspection is required to learn more. Known as Ritō-shi in Japanese.

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.
