Built in 1931 and mostly dismantled sometime after the war. Some effort has been invested in making the site accessible on the Hutoushan Trail (虎頭山步道), but most reports suggest almost nothing remains. There is a wooden torii at the entrance to the path but it isn’t original. An open area next to the site of the former shrine was a sumo arena. Known as Mizuho-shi 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.
