Established in September 1934, this was an Inari shrine on a hillside next to the Hainan Flour Mill (海南製粉) in what is now Anle, Keelung. The surrounding site has been redeveloped into apartment blocks, but remnants of the steps of the visiting path (參道) might survive near Anle Road Sec. 1, Lane 69, No. 15 (安樂路1段69巷15號). “Hainan” was likely Kainan in the original Japanese.
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

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.
