A small institutional Shinto shrine built on the site of an experimental forest farm in the remote mountains of Kaohsiung. Its later history is unknown but it was presumably dismantled in the post-war tumult or in the 1970s after Japan switched recognition to the People’s Republic of China.

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.
