A former Shinto shrine allegedly associated with Ahou Sugar Factory (阿緱製糖所). Not much seems to be known about its exact location or ultimate fate, but the area was extensively bombed toward the end of World War 2, and perhaps it was destroyed at that time. The location is an educated guess based on an examination of aerial maps.
