[Tokyo/Chofu] Recommended for a short trip! Jindaiji Temple

Jindaiji Temple, located in Chofu City, Tokyo, is a historic temple founded in 733 during the Nara period, and is said to be the second oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo after Sensoji Temple. The temple grounds are rich in nature, and are lined with trees that are hundreds of years old. It is a healing space where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, such as cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall. In particular, the charming mountain gate, main hall, and walking path around the pond are perfect for those who want to calm their mind. When it comes to Jindaiji Temple, you can't miss the famous "Jindaiji Soba". The handmade soba noodles made with spring water have a good texture and are a must-try dish after visiting the temple. There are many unique soba restaurants in the area, so you can enjoy eating them while walking around. Another point of interest is the somewhat famous "omikuji, which often gives bad fortune." The ratio of good and bad fortune in the omikuji at Jindaiji is the traditional ratio, and it is said that it is easier to get "bad fortune" than at many modern temples and shrines. However, there is no need to be depressed if you get a bad fortune. If you take a fresh look at your current state and see it as an opportunity to move in a better direction, you may feel a sudden sense of relief. The "Daruma Market" is held every March, and many people visit in search of daruma dolls to pray for good luck. ★Access About 15 minutes by bus from Chofu Station on the Keio Line Also by bus from Mitaka Station or Kichijoji Station on the JR Chuo Line It's also perfect for a short trip from the city center. Why not spend a little special time at Jindaiji Temple, surrounded by nature and history? #TokyoConquest

Don't go to Sensoji Temple to see the crowds when you come to Tokyo. Go to Mori Daiji Temple instead.
