Established on the south side of the majority Amis Indigenous village of Ceroh in 1931. The settlement was originally known by its Taiwanese Minnan reading and hence the shrine was known as Zhiluo Shrine (織羅社), but it might have been read closer to Sero-sha (セロ社) in Japanese. The entire village was renamed in 1937 and the shrine was not spared, becoming Kasuga-sha (春日社) in Japanese. It was dismantled after the war and for a period of time the original torii was repurposed as the gate to Dewu Elementary School (德武國小). A few scattered remnants of the shrine can still be found in a field but don’t expect much. This shrine once had a sumo arena.
