Established in November 1928 and upgraded in 1934 and again in 1938, this prefectural Shinto shrine (縣社) was converted into a Chinese Martyrs’ Shrine in the immediate post-war period. When a newer martyrs’ shrine opened to the northwest in 1981 the site was razed to the ground and converted into a stadium. Nothing remains of the shrine at the original location but some broken stone lanterns (石燈籠) are on display at Erdai Art Museum (二呆藝館) and A-Dong Restaurant (阿東餐廳) in Magong. Likely known as Hōko-jinja in Japanese.
