Dan M. • May 27, 2018Definitely a must see. You can enter through the Main Street and enjoy the souvenirs and sights, and can come back through some of the back streets which offers great food and more quiet ambient
C M. • November 21, 2018Very beautiful and peaceful temple in the city. Great views of Tokyo Tower from here and the neighbouring Shiba Park.
REN • June 25, 2019It’s a sacred Buddhist Temple. In some areas, no photos are allowed. Please be mindful of that...
Zara • February 5, 2015Very beautiful, serene and humbling place. Stairs get extremely slippery in the rain. Honesty boxes for cute, small souvenirs. Street vendors nearby selling traditional sweets etc
Diegoberto B. • April 21, 2023The famous cat temple. The mini statues are so cute. So difficult to take pictures when it’s crowded. Beware: it’s kind of hard to get here from central Tokyo.
AussieInJapan A. • January 16, 2010Visit on a weekday if possible and skip the crowds. After exploring the temple, try some handmade soba noodles. Try to find the nearby hotsprings too!
Jo • January 1, 2019Temple area with typical elements (great hall, bell, tower) surrounded by graveyard, nicely maintained. Good to go here during holidays like New Years!
Matt T. • April 2, 2016Interesting Temple close to the Tsukiji fish market. Worth dropping by to visit after you've stuffed yourself on sushi.
初音航空隊 • September 24, 2012戦災により消失した本堂が、「大殿」として1974年(昭和49年)に再建。本堂に御せられた阿弥陀如来(室町期の作)は、両脇に祀られた高祖善導大師と宗祖法然上人の御像とともに、厚い信仰の拠り所になっているとの由。

onelmon • January 1, 2018Enter the shrine from the carpark instead of the main entrance and you’ll get a chance to ride the mini monorail to the main hall!
Keiko S. • January 7, 2013You get to pay your respect to Ofudo-Sama, Kannon-Sama, & Ebisu-Sama in one small space. Very crowded on New Year's day but worth the visit!
