A small Inari shrine established in October 1912 in association with the nearby sugar factory (南投製糖所) in Nantou City. The shrine was located at what is now Nantou City Household Registration Office (南投市戶籍事務所). No reports of any relics from this shrine have been found and it was presumably demolished sometime after the war. It was presumably known as Nantō Inari-sha 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.
