Established in May 1933, this Shinto shrine was almost completely destroyed sometime after the war. A stone ablution basin and a broken lantern can be found somewhere in the vicinity of the police station. Known as Ura or U-Rai Shrine (ウライ祠) 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.
