The Lin-Tou Japanese Military Landing Memorial commemorates the landing of the Imperial Japanese Navy's joint landing forces during the 1895 battle.

It was erected on March 23, 1924, during the Taisho era, at a cost of over one thousand yen, with the signatures of Port Commander Taniguchi and Penghu County Magistrate Takashita. After World War II, the government of the Republic of China changed the inscription to the "Taiwan Restoration Memorial."
