A former Shinto shrine overlooking Wujie Reservoir (武界水庫) completed in September 1932. This would have been an internal shrine (構內社) for the hydroelectric project. There is no access to the site, and steep slopes on every side. Known as Kashima-sha in the original Japanese, and in some sources it is prefixed with Takuban (干卓萬), the Bunun Indigenous name for the area.

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.
