Yokohama Chinatown Tianhou Temple

#MarchDestinations2025 #Japan #Yokohama The Yokohama Mazu Temple is located in Yokohama Chinatown. It is the first Mazu temple in Japan. It was built with funds raised by local Chinese and covers an area of ​​about 300 pings. In addition to worshipping Mazu, there are also worshippers such as Yuexia Lao Ren, Tudi Gong and Wenchang Dijun. You can also burn gold paper, throw divination blocks and light lanterns. It is the center of religious belief for Chinese in Japan. It was the first time I saw a familiar temple in Japan. I found it quite magical and it was not much different from the temples I saw in Taiwan. This is one of the tourist attractions in Yokohama. 📍Address: 〒231-0023 136 Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 09:00-19:00 daily
