An original Shinto shrine can still be found around staff dormitories for the nearby cement factory, formerly the site of a chemical plant in Japanese colonial times. It is a small structure classed as an internal or institutional shrine (構內社). No permission is required to view the site.

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.
