Established as a Sōtō Zen Buddhist teaching center for workers at the nearby sugar factory in 1914. It was greatly expanded in 1936. The rest of the temple complex has been demolished and rebuilt over subsequent decades but the main hall is still standing. Despite its obvious heritage value it is not recognized.

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.
