    Itinerary

    1. 1

      Jindai-ji Temple

      3 hours

      Jindaiji Temple is a historic Buddhist temple in Chofu, in western Tokyo. Founded in the 8th century, it is considered one of the oldest temples in the Tokyo area. The temple is known for its peaceful atmosphere, traditional architecture, and leafy surroundings. The streets around Jindaiji are also part of the experience, with small shops, cafés, souvenir stores, and restaurants serving Jindaiji soba, a local specialty made from buckwheat noodles.

    2. 2

      Jindai Botanical Garden Plant Diversity Center

      3 hours

      Jindai Botanical Gardens is a large botanical garden in Chofu, western Tokyo, located next to Jindaiji Temple. It is known for its spacious grounds, seasonal flowers, and wide variety of plants. Visitors can enjoy different scenery throughout the year, including plum and cherry blossoms in spring, roses in the rose garden, lush greenery in summer, and colorful foliage in autumn. The garden also has landscaped areas, greenhouses, and walking paths, making it a relaxing place to spend time in nature. Because it is right beside Jindaiji Temple, the two attractions make a very natural combination for a half-day or full-day excursion from central Tokyo.
