Yokohama Ma Zhu Miao
A temple which opened in 2006 dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu, who provides safety on the ocean, an appropriate theme for the port town of Yokohama. The temple is famous for its five incense burners; worshipers visit each burner in turn to light incense and prayer to the gods each is dedicated to. Seen as a refuge for Chinese living overseas, anyone is free to worship here. Located a three minute walk from the Exit 3 of Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Tokyu Minatomirai Line.
