A former Japanese colonial era school once home to a small Shinto shrine on campus in Wujie, Yilan. Apparently there are traces to be found, although it isn’t obvious what might still remain apart from two stone monuments, one to tree-planting (植樹記念碑). An in-person visit would be required to clarify the situation.
