Established in 1932, it was once home to a multi-level shrine and sumo court. Much of the site was heavily damaged in flooding and landslides in the early post-war years and only broken concrete remains to indicate this was ever a shrine. The site is partially on private land, so be sure to seek permission before entering. As a yōhaijo (remote worship) shrine (遙拜所) there were no actual kami enshrined here. Zhiyagan is a more modern Chinese romanization for what is now known as Cyakang.
