A small Shinto shrine established in October 1933 at the initiative of Monopoly Bureau director Tabata Kōzaburō (田端幸三郎), next to what is now known as the Little White House (小白宮) on the grounds of Nanmen Factory (南門工場), today part of the National Taiwan Museum Nanmen Park (國立臺灣博物館南門園區). The name directly translates to “camphor tree shrine”, and the shrine was a branch of the original Kusunogi Shrine (久須乃木祠) in Shinboku-mura (神木村), Japan. There is a small plaque on site describing the former shrine and a model of the shrine can be found in the adjacent museum. In some sources it is listed as Kusonoki Shrine (久須之木祠).
A branch of this shrine stood at the privately-run camphor refining works in Kabayama-chō, the Taipei Camphor Refinery Shinto Shrine, on the site of what is now Huashan 1914 Creative Park.

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.
