One of only two remaining sites in Taiwan where Japanese soldiers forced local women into sexual slavery. The facility was likely also an ammunition depot. As of 2024 the site is unrecognized and the doors are locked. It is also sometimes known as the Shuiyuan Comfort Station (水源慰安所).

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.
