An Inari shrine with its spirit derived from Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稻荷大社) in Kyoto, established near Lingkou Railway Station (嶺口驛) on the Qiwei Sugar Railway Line to serve as guardian of forestry operations in the area. Nothing is known of its post-war fate. Possibly known as Takunan-jinja in the original 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.
