A small Inari shrine established in the Fukuzumi neighbourhood of Hualien, with Shinto missionary activity recorded at the site as early as 1916. The surrounding Fukuzumi and Inazumi areas were once expansive rice paddies before urbanization, plausibly explaining the dedication to the rice deity Inari, although it was likely near to the official red light district as well. In 1950, Presbyterian Church elders acquired the land and demolished the wooden shrine office to build a chapel. One stone lantern now survives on the grounds of the Hualien Presbyterian Church (台灣基督長老教會東部中會信義教會) with a dedication in December 1927.

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.
