An institutional shrine (構內社) built on sugar factory (岸內製糖所) grounds as early as 1907, though other records suggest it was completed in 1935. After the war, in 1947, Annei Elementary School (岸內國民小學校) was established on this site, and over subsequent years much of the original shrine facilities were dismantled. Nowadays a pair of komainu and several stone lanterns can still be found in the area. Likely known as Kishinai-sha 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.
