Established in November 1926 (or perhaps 1927), this rural Shinto shrine also features a sumo ring. It was dismantled sometime in the post-war era and Wufeng Elementary School (五峰國民小學) was built on the site. The broken remains of one of the torii gates remains on the original sando, or visiting path, and it was recently repainted bright red. A small shrine structure also stands in the car park behind the school, intact but empty inside. Likely known as Shipajī-shi in Japanese.

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.
