Jindaiji Temple, Tokyo

An air of authenticity at Tokyo's second oldest temple

Jindaiji temple, located in Chofu City, Tokyo, was originally built in 733. It’s an easy trip to do in a morning or afternoon. It’s the second oldest temple in Tokyo. Sensoji in Asakusa is the oldest but it’s also very touristy in my opinion. Jindaiji retains an air of authenticity. Plan on having lunch when you visit because Jindaiji is famous for its hand-made soba. Although I said it’s an easy half-day trip, I would actually recommend taking your time to soak up the atmosphere. It’s not often you can escape to the past in Tokyo.
