Established in May 1931 as a private shrine (構內社) for the Sankandian Sugar Factory (三崁店製糖場). After the war the original structures were demolished and a small post office was built on the stone platform. This building was cleared away in the mid-2000s, leaving the remains of the former shrine and wash basin (手水舍) in a small park. As of 2011 the site is also protected as a heritage property. Known as Sankanten-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.
