A small Shinto shrine established in an Amis Indigenous village in 1927 and expanded in 1937. It was destroyed sometime after the war and the site is now an Amis Cultural Museum (花蓮縣吉安鄉阿美族文物館). Apparently a small stone marker remains. It may have also been known as Tianpu Shinto Shrine (田浦社). The Japanese romanization for this site is not known with certainty.

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.
