A local would say...

A flying-dragon pine guards a temple where 300 years of wood carving cover every wall — and the tourists never found it.

A 300-year-old Buddhist temple famous for extraordinary wood carvings covering every surface. The pine tree at the entrance resembles a flying dragon. Pay extra for the sculpture gallery and stroll garden. Quiet and uncrowded.
