An Inari shrine was established on Erjie Sugar Factory (二結製糖所) ground in May 1921 but there seems to be some uncertainty about the precise location. A pair of stone lanterns from the demolished shrine have been found at the Shangsi Village Wanying Temple (上四村萬應廟) but other details are unknown. Likely known as Niketsu Inari-sha in the original 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.
