• Teramachi Dori, otherwise known as Temple Street, is a peaceful area of Setagaya where 26 temples are concentrated. Only 11 minutes by train from Shinjuku Station, Temple Street bears little in common with the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku, instead being a haven for those who wish to stroll around a quiet part of Tokyo and explore some hidden gems in this authentic, local spot.
• This tour is for people who want to visit off-the-beaten-path spots in Tokyo and discover more of the true Tokyo beyond the glittering lights and skyscrapers. There are not so many spots in central Tokyo where so many temples are clustered together like this, and of those that exist, many are overcrowded with tourists, making the experience not quite so relaxing as it could be. This Tokyo Temple Town tour takes you on a serene walk through an ordinary neighbourhood and lets you delve deeper into one of the many faces of Tokyo.

This temple has been in the area since 1926 after being relocated from Shinagawa. Its pond called Benten-ike is a calm and serene spot where wild ducks are often found. The shrine in the middle houses Hosho Benzaiten. You will walk around the temple grounds which make the perfect photography setting.
