Naimon Shinto Shrine (內門神社) - Spectral Codex

A former Shinto shrine in the vicinity of Nanhai Zizhu Temple (南海紫竹寺) in Neimen. The area was part of Naimon-shō (內門庄) under Kizan-gun (旗山郡) during the Japanese colonial era. No further details about the shrine’s founding date, deities, or post-war fate are known; it was presumably destroyed. Presumably known as Naimon-jinja in the original Japanese.
