Over

Korte feiten: More than 600 Tokugawa family graves rest within the grounds, giving a deep dive into Japan's feudal past. The temple survived multiple reconstructions and even stood through Tokyo's rapid modernization.

Hoogtepunten: The temple grounds are home to an unusual 6-meter tall bronze statue of Shaka Nyorai which dates back over 600 years, inspiring awe with its serene presence. Each New Year, the temple hosts a giant bamboo and straw decoration event that draws locals and visitors alike for its lively traditional flair.

Insidertips

  • Wear comfortable shoes to explore the temple gardens and grounds easily.
  • Photograph early in the morning to capture the bronze Buddha with soft natural light and fewer tourists.
  • Skip weekends if you prefer a quieter visit, as locals flock on these days.
  • Attend the New Year decoration event to witness unique cultural displays and interact with friendly locals.

Onze #1 reistip

Heb je gehoord van gratis wandeltochten?

Na reizen naar meer dan 30 landen, is er één ding dat ik graag vanaf dag één had willen weten, en dat heeft mijn ervaring met nieuwe steden compleet veranderd.

Gratis wandeltochten. Ja, echt gratis. Geen creditcard nodig. Geen addertje onder het gras.

Lokale gids, 2-3 uur

Belangrijke bezienswaardigheden, verborgen pareltjes, lokale verhalen

100% op fooien gebaseerd

Gidsen verdienen alleen fooien, dus ze geven hun absolute best

Je geeft een fooi wat goed voelt

Aan het einde geef je gewoon een fooi wat je passend vindt

Ik heb deze in tientallen steden gedaan en ze waren het hoogtepunt van bijna elke reis. Als je Tokyo, Japan bezoekt, doe dit dan op je eerste dag. Je zult me later dankbaar zijn.
