Lintou Japanese Landing Memorial Introduction
The Lin Tou Japanese Invasion Memorial is a monument erected by the Japanese army after their landing in Lin Tou during the invasion of Penghu. It stands over ten meters tall and has an octagonal shape. Constructed of granite, it is surrounded by a wall made of Miao River stones. The main structure can be divided into three segments, covering an area of approximately 434 square meters. It is the earliest monument in Taiwan related to the Japanese invasion. The memorial was established by the Imperial Japanese Navy after the landing in Lin Tou during the battle in 1895, with the original inscription reading "Memorial of the Landing of the Combined Navy and Army Corps in the 28th Year of Meiji." It was built in 1924 (Taisho 13) on March 23rd, costing over 1,000 yen and was signed by the Port Commander Taniguchi and the Penghu County Magistrate Takeshita. After World War II, when the Chinese Nationalist Government took over, the inscription was changed to the Taiwan Restoration Memorial. After the war, in the 34th year of the Republic, after the defeat of the Japanese army, the government revised it to the "Victory in Anti-Japanese War Memorial." [Recommended stay time] 0.5 hours.
