    Tokyo Setagaya-ku Goutokuji 2-24-7
    A Soto Buddhist temple located in 2 Chome Gotokuji, Setagaya City, Tokyo. The temple was built in 1480 by Kira Masatada, then lord of Setagaya Castle. According to a historical anecdote, a man named Ii Naotaka, the second lord of Hikone Domain (which also ruled Setagaya subsequently), escaped being struck by lightning after a cat beckoned him to enter the temple, and thus the temple is also said to be the origin of Japan's famed maneki-neko beckoning cat figures. Countless beckoning cat figures are arranged around the temple's grounds, and many tourists visit the temple to see this stunning sight.

    Tokyo Setagaya-ku Okusawa 7-41-3
    "Located in the city center a five-minute walk from Kuhonbutsu Station and a 10-minute walk from Jiyugaoka Station, this Jodo Buddhist temple has an authentic traditional dry landscape garden like you might see in Kyoto. ""Kuhonbutsu"" refers to the nine statues of Amida Buddha enshrined at the temple, and the temple is often referred to by this name. Founded in 1678, it houses Tangible Cultural Properties such as a seated wooden Amida Nyorai sculpture, a silk-based colored picture of the master Kaseki Shonin, and an old Buddhist temple bell. The garden with its pond across from the dry landscape garden is well known for its colored leaves in autumn, when it gets busy with tourists."

    Walking here at winter could be very cold but still I love the peaceful vibe and serenity of this place. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood up a hill. It’s quite far from downtown Tokyo but if...

    A Buddhist temple situated along Meguro-dori Avenue in Todoroki 1-Chome, Setagaya City. A branch temple of the Manganji Temple in Todoroki 3Chome, the temple was built to enshrine a statue of Acala based on a revelation the great priest Kakuban received in a dream. The grounds, positioned in the Todoroki Valley, have rest areas which sell sweets and drinks.

    We were doing the walking trail in the Todoroki valley and visited this temple after climbing a steep flight of steps going up near the Fido-na-Saki waterfall. These steps will lead you to one of the...

    このお寺を訪れた時、丁度雨があがり、歩くと雨露を含んだ樹木の香がして、心地良く散策できました。緑豊かないいお寺です。関東大震災時に被災した梵鐘が穴の開いたまま保存されています。また、宮沢賢治の碑があります。このお寺は法華宗本門流ということなので、賢治も熱心な法華経信者だったからなのか、真相は不明です。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
