Keelung Suehiro Inari Shrine

Established in 1899 and renovated in 1913, this former Shinto shrine was mostly patronized by people working in the nearby red-light district in Keelung. The shrine originally stood near the back of Lane 37, Renyi Road (仁一路37巷). Local historians believe it was heavily damaged in the war and later demolished, leaving almost nothing behind. Two fox statues that once guarded the entrance to the shrine were rescued and relocated to the trail partway up Hongdanshan (紅淡山), although this assumption is not without some controversy, as a private collector also claims to have the statues in his possession. When and by whom the statues were carried up the mountain is unknown. Known as Suehiro Inari-sha in the original Japanese.
