Antsu Shinto Shrine

In 1927 a small Shinto shrine was constructed on a hilltop above an Amis village named Angcoh (紅座), after a word for the sulfurous smell of the nearby hot springs transliterated into Taiwanese Hokkien. In the post-war period the settlement was renamed Antong (安通) and the shrine was eventually repurposed for use as the base of a water tank. Nowadays the original location is seemingly lost, although some reports from the 2000s suggest the original pedestal was still visible around 50 meters above a pavilion at the top of a poorly maintained hiking trail starting from around Dechang Bridge (德昌橋) next to the hot springs. Presumably known as Antsū-sha or Antsun-sha in the original Japanese.
