Former site of a small shrine near the entrance to County Road 65 beside present-day Sanmin Elementary School. The area was once a thriving camphor town with Japanese inns, restaurants, and a primary school for Japanese children. The shrine featured a myōjin torii, stone lanterns, and a main hall, but was demolished during the post-war widening of Provincial Highway 9 and the land was later sold to local residents. Formerly known as Mikasa-sha in Japanese, the settlement having been named after a nearby mountain resembling Nara’s Mount Mikasa.

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.
