A military shrine within the barracks of the Taiwan Infantry 1st Regiment, 3rd Battalion (台灣步兵第一聯隊第三大隊) in Kanjō-chō (干城町), Taichung, built by soldiers of the garrison in 1931 and dedicated to General Nogi Maresuke (乃木希典). The area was named after the Kanjō Unit (干城部隊) stationed there during the Japanese colonial era. After the war the base became the ROC Army Gancheng Camp and was partially repurposed for provincial government offices starting in 1972. No trace of the shrine is known to remain and the precise location is unknown. Known as Nogi-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.
