A district shrine (鄉社) established in June 1911 in the plaza behind the Ximen Red House (西門紅樓). There were fox statues at the entrance. It was likely demolished during World War 2, possibly as a direct consequence of Allied air raids on Taipei. Presumably known as Taihoku Inari-sha in the original Japanese.
