Meteorological shrine is a shrine where local people pray for good weather. It is quiet.
Originally, it was also a Jinguo Shrine. Strangely, many of them were made of metal. They were cold and calm, and were not worth visiting.
When I happened to pass by, I found it very special and very famous. It is a shrine that prays for a sunny day. There are many rag dolls that have the meaning of a sunny day.
It is recommended to go early, but otherwise there will be lines and time limits. It is best to use public transportation as it is close to the station.
This is a very quiet and calm shrine. It reminds me of the sentimental story of "Weather Children". I want to come again.
