Ōgon Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ruifang District, Taiwan
The Ōgon Shrine stands halfway up a mountain in the Gold Ecological Park, featuring stone lanterns along its pathway and a torii gate marking the entrance.
Built in 1898 by Tanaka Chōbei, the shrine complex included a main hall, purification pavilion, and multiple torii gates during the Japanese colonial period.
The shrine honors three metallurgy deities: Ōkuninushi no Mikoto, Kanayamahiko no Mikoto, and Sarutahiko no Mikoto, reflecting the area's mining heritage.
Visitors can find the shrine at coordinates 25.104969 latitude and 121.858658 longitude, with four pairs of stone lanterns still standing at the site.
A stone featuring a chiseled letter 'O' remains among the ruins, which locals consider fortunate to touch when visiting the shrine grounds.
