Tongxiao Shrine was built on Hutou Mountain in the 12th year of the Shōwa era (Japanese colonial period; 1937 CE). The shrine was dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa. Built along the slope of the mountain, the shrine consists of the first torii gate, a chōzuya (ablution pavilion), a sandō (pathway leading to a Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple) lined with stone lanterns, the second torii gate, a haiden (worship hall), a heiden (offertory hall), and the main hall, as well as dormitories for Shinto priests and a shrine office. After World War II, all the buildings of the Tongxiao Shrine were demolished except for the haiden and shrine office. The shrine was converted into the Martyrs' Shrine in Tongxiao, enshrining not only those who perished in war but also Koxinga. As a result, the shrine was known locally as Koxinga Temple. Currently, the Shinto priest dormitories and shrine office of Tongxiao Shrine are in a state of disrepair and in danger of collapsing. As for the other structures, the chōzuya is completely lost, only remnants of the foundation remain of the heiden, and only the base remains of the main hall.
