Hi Everyone,
On the eastern side of Tokyo, Shibamata Taishakuten was a half-day visit for us. Known for its historic charm and appearing in the "Tora-san" movie series, this little place takes you away from the busy part of Tokyo. Taishakuten Daikyoji Temple was our first stop, a Buddhist temple famous for its intricately carved wooden reliefs.
When we were visiting, classes were held inside the temple that taught legends and history. These carvings, found on the inner walls of the temple were particularly detailed, each wall had a different picture and story. We then stroll through the garden behind the temple, a peaceful area featuring a koi pond with well-maintained landscaped paths. There are seats around to allow us to enjoy the sounds of the water of the pond. It was a bit chilly on the day so we went through the area quickly.
There is a small fee to enter Taishakuten Daikyoji Temple to see the carving and inner garden and requires you to take your shoes off throughout the visit. The temple can be reached around 45 minutes from Tokyo and a short walk from the station. Right outside of the temple is a shopping strip leading to many stores and some restaurants.
