A small Kotohira (金刀比羅) Shinto shrine established in 1911 at Paotaipu (砲台埔), also known as Tansui Kotohira-sha (淡水琴平社) in Japanese. It stood adjacent to the Tamsui Public Hall (淡水公會堂) and the Tamsui Inari Shrine (淡水稻荷社), sharing an outer compound (外苑) with the latter while keeping a separate inner precinct (內苑). It served as the predecessor to the larger Tamsui Shinto Shrine (淡水神社) dedicated in 1939. Both the shrine and the public hall were demolished in the post-war period.

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.
