Jindaiji temple

We arrived Jindaiji temple.



This temple, of the Tendai sect, is famous for one of the oldest in Tokyo, following to Sensoji in Asakusa.


We first went to the main temple building to worship. I prayed for health and happiness of my family.


Then we walked the surrounding. It's like a time-slip to Edo-period.


Soba restaurant is also famous and there are lots of good restaurants.

This is the first/original soba restaurant there. Shimada-ya.


This area is also famous for Japanese popular ghost/monster manga/cartoon "Gegege no Kitaro", written by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki.

Especially after broadcasting TV drama "Gegege no nyoubo", an interesting story about his wife, this place is much popular as he lives here.


Can you see a house of the monsters on the top of the tree?




You should enjoy the Jindaiji !
