What other travelers are saying about Kitain Temple
A very peaceful temple in the middle of many surrounding residences. Great place to visit and unwind especially with the crowds in Tokyo. This temple is a very old and historic Buddhist temple.
Traditional looking temple but very well maintained.
It is quiet and peaceful. One thing quite unique about it was that there was some kind of plaza around it where there are many shops for food. Most of them were closed when I visited but seems like on the weekends must get busy.
The temple was undergoing some contructions as well which is a good sign to show that they still care about it.
Really love this place. If it is open, please go inside. It is so serene. I feel I dated back in time. The 500 Buddha is also quite interesting. Be sure to step inside.
I was here in April but there were an annual ceremony so I couldn’t get in. I took some photo outside. This time there was also the morning ritual. After strolling inside for a while, the ritual was over, so we could get to the main hall. All are a worth visit.
