The Ōgon Shrine also known as the Jinguashi Shinto Shrine, Gold Temple or Spirits of the Mountain Shrine is a Shinto shrine located halfway up a mountain in the Gold Ecological Park in Jinguashi, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Kinkaseki town at the time of Japanese rule was said to have been the number one gold mine town in Asia. The Ōgon Shrine was built and managed on March 2, 1898 by Tanaka Chōbei, who started the iron industry for the first time in Japan and had the mining rights of the Kinkaseki Mine.
Ōkuninushi no Mikoto, Kanayamahiko no Mikoto, and Sarutahiko no Mikoto were enshrined as the three Kami spirits of metallurgy.
