Not much is written about the former shrine in this town at the gateway to Alishan, but it was likely located within Zhuqi Park (竹崎公園) and established by the mid-1930s, and probably even earlier than that. It was also likely to be a *yōhaijo (遙拜所), or remote worship shrine, with no actual kami enshrined. The komainu can be found at the nearby Zhenwu Temple. Known as Takesaki Yohaijo 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.
