Busegan Shinto Shrine (富世岡祠) - Spectral Codex
富世岡祠ブセガン祠

The overgrown ruins of a small Shinto shrine are scattered across a hillside at the back of the Truku Indigenous community of Bsngan. A stone stairway is most readily identified but the broken remnants of a torii, one of three that originally stood at this shrine, plus several stone lanterns, are also found in the undergrowth. The location is beneath the power lines. Nowadays the official name for this Truku Indigenous community is typically written as Boshi’an (玻士岸) in Chinese, although more archaic forms such as Fushigang (富士岡) can be found in the literature.
