Use Jindaiji, its approach and a nearby garden as a slower alternative to central Tokyo.
Turn the clip into a workable plan
Best for
Repeat Tokyo visitors wanting temples, greenery and soba without a long-distance trip.
A sensible route
- Travel to the Jindaiji area before the middle of the day.
- Walk the temple approach and choose one meal stop without chasing every queue.
- Add one nearby garden or return through Chofu rather than crossing Tokyo again.
