Xizhi Shinto Shrine (汐止神社) - Spectral Codex

An unranked (無格社) Shinto shrine established in December 1937. This former Shinto shrine was dismantled but many relics remain, including an imposing torii painted red, the original komainu (guardian lion-dogs), stone lanterns, etc. The site is now occupied by Xizhi Zhongshun Temple and several relics have been relocated to Xizhi Gongbei Temple. Known as Shiodome-jinja in the original Japanese.
