was a Shinto shrine in Chiayi City, Taiwan

The shrine was built on 28 October 1915

The shrine was made into martyrs' shrine by the Republic of China after World War II. On 24 April 1994 the main hall was destroyed by a fire. The ruins are now Chiayi City Historical Relics Museum.

The main hall of Kagi Shrine was replaced by the Chiayi Tower in 1998. The tower's builders used a design that was inspired by a story told by the indigenous people about how the world was created. The tower is called the Sun-Shooting Tower and it has an observation deck.
