Lin-tou Japanese Landing Memorial碑 Introduction
The Lin Tou Japanese Army Landing Memorial is a monument established after the Japanese Army landed in Penghu at Lin Tou. It stands over ten meters high and has an octagonal shape. Built with granite, it is surrounded by a wall constructed from cat's-eye stones, and the main structure can be roughly divided into three segments. The area of the monument is approximately 434 square meters. It is currently the earliest monument related to the Japanese invasion of Taiwan. The Lin Tou Japanese Army Landing Memorial was established by the Imperial Japanese Navy after the landing at Lin Tou during the 1895 campaign, with the original inscription reading "Meiji Year 28, Navy Joint Land Forces Landing Memorial." The monument, which was built with granite and encircled by walls made of cat's-eye stones, was erected on March 23, 1924, at a cost of more than one thousand yen, with signatures from Port Commander Taniguchi and Penghu County Magistrate Takeshita. After World War II, following its reception by the Kuomintang (KMT), the inscription was changed to commemorate Taiwan's restoration. After the Second World War, in the 34th year of the Republic of China, following the defeat of the Japanese Army, the KMT renamed it the "Victory in the War of Resistance Memorial."
