A small Shinto shrine established in June 1936, with the addition of a Loyal Spirit Monument (忠魂碑) for the Takasago Volunteers in 1943. The site was heavily damaged by earthquakes, typhoon flooding, and landslides over the years, but the base of the monument remains intact and the pillar can still be found leaning halfway off the platform. Some stone lanterns have also been recovered. Known as Dōmon-shi in 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.
