A former Shinto shrine established next to the former Tainan Prison (台南刑務所) in December 1937, although some sources suggest it was established as early as 1912. It was demolished sometime in the post-war period and the site is now Guotai Plaza (國泰廣場). The name is sometimes given as Izuma-sha (泉社).

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.
