The Elusive Syonan Jinja (Shinto Shrine in Singapore) | A Walk In The Park

[@zer0L0]

Thank you for making this video (so we don't have to make that sweaty trek).There's some really important history behind it.

[@kryshansahagun5250]

Here after hearing the news of two teenage boys getting lost finding the shrine 😂

[@V.T.J.L.]

they must be there for the gold HAHAH

[@AERSKALFA_]

Me too

[@fennesto]

NEA has took the gold already. There's no gold anymore.

[@Founderschannel123]

@@V.T.J.L. same here lol i just read it and didnt know it was recent.Welp i guess its not worth the risk.

[@telsa3]

I don't believe your information that the British army destroyed it is correct. As I understand, the Japanese Soldiers were ordered to destroy it, in fears of defilement of the shrine before the surrender to the Allied forces.

[@sofyaoldtimesg1373]

Yes, the Japs did it.

[@AlanChoo-y4h]

Thank you.

[@miyashimoaoki8414]

hi, Why are they not happy with people visiting such historical landmark area?

[@Galaxnite]

I guess they don't want anyone to access the gold

[@LuchesChan]

Firstly, it's in a natural reserve. And secondly the Japanese occuption had been a dark and painful part of our history. Any attempt to benefit it through tourism will be disrespectful to the victims of the war.

[@Founderschannel123]

@@LuchesChan i do have to agree with the first one tho since if its given to tourism its gonna lose its value.

[@virtue1993]

offer a five yen, throw it in the soil. bring a bell, ring it clap and pray. may the spirit of the south light bless you.

[@SherylBiangco]

I wanted to go here. Please continue your adventure. I wanna join you guys someday.

[@toxicalyss]

Singapore should restore it and there you have another cultural heritage site.

[@desmondlaw3302]

The stone basin is called chozuya or temizuya 清水舍 .

[@redfullpack]

didn't you bring a working compass along? Don't fool around off the familiar track please!! And I am NOT talking about the compass activated by your handphone

[@Hx_jamie]

It said those Japanese soldiers burnt it because they surrendered

[@mitohouse11]

are there a part of route that is very steep?

[@kohteehock9020]

Do u have the coordinate?

[@Founderschannel123]

1.3487° N, 103.8152° E

[@Founderschannel123]

By the way if you wanna search for it go ahead i guess.

[@kohteehock9020]

[@pewpewpew6846]

[@cursebr2937]

The Japanese destroyed the shrine not the British. State the fact bruh

[@byam79]

[@spamnish]

[@teoyuyuan]

[@jas4797]

[@ZhiyingChoo]

Don't go. pls respect the place of the dead. I know a guy hiker who did something that angered the japanese spirits guarding the temple. he had to go find a Catholic priest exorcist to help him.

[@Hx_jamie]
