A former institutional (構內社) Shinto shrine established near the power plant of the same name (竹子門發電所) in April 1922. It survived the post-war tumult and was only dismantled sometime after the 1990s to accommodate the construction of Shuide Temple (水德宮). There are also several monuments still standing in the immediate vicinity including one to a civil engineer, Yasuhisajirō Okada, who passed away in 1926 (岡田安久次郎之碑). Known as Takekomon Water Shrine in Japanese.

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.
