Hamasen Daitian Temple

Nice temple with a lot of sculptures and ornaments typical of these temples. The roof area shines with an explosion of colours and architectural détails, unfortunately hard to appreciate in a full son. There is a nice udon noodles shop 50 m to your left when exiting the main te.ple entrance.

Very cool and old temple. It is very well known locally. Lots of good foods around here.

Beautiful Taoist temple with lots of artwork. Worth a visit with a local tour guide to appreciate historical details. The construction was funded by proceeds of fishermen ‘s catches.

Temple with many food vendors in the square, surrounded by the red colored two floors houses. Great dining experience.

Nice temple to visit, relax and eventually worship if that is your thing.
