A little-known spot in Japan to recommend to all visitors. Despite being in Tokyo, old-fashioned soba restaurants are lined up around the shrine, and you can see the original scenery of Japan where spring water spouts and waterwheels turn around. Access is not very good but you can go by bus at Chofu or Kichijoji.…

I'm not temple expart, so nothing really different from other temples to me, but surrounding town is nice and cosy. Jindai temple area is famous for noodles and many soba shops are here. Jindai botanic park is nearby, too.

I would recommend checking out the botanical garden as well while you're there. A delightful, local market seems to be held next to the temple monthly, and I was lucky enough to visit the place on the right day to enjoy it.…
