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.
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.
