Former site of a small Shinto shrine in this Japanese immigrant village in rural Taitung City, Taitung. It has been converted into Fèngshùn Temple (奉順宮), but a lone stone lantern remains. Sometimes more generally named as Asahi Immigrant Village Shrine (旭移民村神社). It was presumably established around 1916 along with the rest of the village and may have been a yōhaijo (遙拜所), or remote worship shrine.

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.
