Kagi Shrine, Shinto shrine in Chiayi Park, Taiwan

The shrine features traditional Japanese architectural elements including a purification hall, stone lanterns, and guardian Komainu statues within its grounds.

Built in 1915 during Japanese rule, the shrine underwent orientation changes in 1942 and held the status of a small shrine by 1944.

The shrine housed multiple deities, including Prince Yoshihisa, Okunitama no Mikoto, Onamuchi no Mikoto, Sukunahikona no Mikoto, and Amaterasu.

Visitors can explore the Chiayi City Historical Relics Museum, which occupies the former main office and purification hall of the shrine.

Following a fire in 1994, the Chiayi Tower replaced the main hall, drawing inspiration from indigenous creation mythology.
