Seitenkyu Temple, Sakado city, Saitama Pref, Japan.
埼玉県坂戸市にある「聖天宮（せいてんきゅう）」、またの名を「5千頭の龍が昇る聖天宮」
台湾の偉い法師様がかつて大病を患い、奇跡的に完治したところ、
その夢枕に仏から、なぜか台湾ではなく埼玉県坂戸の辺鄙な土地に御本尊を祀るようお告げがあり、
一帯の土地を買い、わざわざ台湾宮大工を呼び寄せて、荒れ地から切り拓いて作り上げた正真正銘の台湾式お寺です
正直、本当に周囲は何の変哲もない（と言うか何もない）田舎町で、突如、きらびやかなお寺が現れるので衝撃的です
由緒正しきお寺ですが、埼玉ではB級スポット的な扱いで、異国情緒が味わえていいですよ

Seitenkyu temple is actually the Japan's largest Taiwanese Taoist temple even though it is located in Sakado city, Saitama pref, Japan. The founder, who is a Taiwanese and one of the great Taoist masters in Taiwan, used to suffer from a incurable disease, but he had miraculously recovered for 7 years. after that, he looked for the place to build the Tao's temple because the Tao gad told him where to build the temple for worshiping the god in his dream. Then according to the story, Tao god told it had better to build it in Sakado city, Saitama. Anyway, it looks so weird but literally you must feel something exotic
