A dragon hides behind red ribbons

The gate glows with color - red, bright blue, gold and emerald green

Red lanterns hang from lines attached to the gate

Pagoda with small dragons on every corner

Incense sticks come in a variety of sizes

Glimpse of temple interior

Curved tile ridge in bright green reminds me of bamboo

Stone dragon clutching a ball

Dragons writhe around the verandah columns

If you're a fan of dragons you are sure to enjoy Kantei-Byo Shrine in Yokohama. Decorative dragons guard the gate, swarm up the columns and perch on the roof. Like everything else in Chinatown, there are also bright colors, and lots of red lanterns.
