Seitenkyū, Taoist temple in Sakado, Japan.
The temple features yellow roof tiles, stone pillars measuring five meters tall, and a ceiling made of ten thousand colored glass pieces.
Construction of the temple started in 1981 by Taiwanese businessman Kang Kuo Den and concluded in 1995, following negotiations with local farmers.
The temple incorporates traditional Taiwanese architectural elements with 5000 dragon sculptures and paintings depicting ancient Chinese legends throughout its grounds.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Tobu Tojo Line to Wakaba Station, followed by a 30-minute walk or bus ride.
The temple's drum tower and bell tower produce synchronized sounds daily at 3 PM, creating resonating tones across the industrial neighborhood.
