What other travelers are saying about Kitain Temple
Nice big temple. You have to pay 400 to go inside. You also cannot take pictures inside which is normal. Nice that i was like able to walk on a japanese temple feel environment. Pictures are trees as seen from inside
Nice, peaceful, and quiet temple, not far from the station. It did not take us more than 30 minutes to completely visit the temple ground but more than that to sit down and enjoy the beautiful sceneries.
If you visit Kawagoe, add this place to your list. You will see shrines, there could also be a market, surrounded by forest. All in all good experience.
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.
