Discover the Spiritual Heart of Old Tokyo: A Day at Jindaiji Temple
We’ll meet at Musashi-Sakai Station’s south exit at 10:00AM. From there, I’ll drive us to Jindaiji Temple.
On the way, I’ll explain the basics of Japanese Buddhism and the temple’s long history.
At Jindaiji, we’ll get out of the car and stroll the quiet grounds and join a traditional *oharai* purification ritual. Inside the main hall, you’ll take part in and observe monks performing this ceremony, where sacred fire is still used—a rare tradition preserved over centuries.
You purchase a protective *ofuda* charm.
The purification ritual requires the purchase of “Ofuda”.
The cost of the “Ofuda” is already included in the participation fee.
Next, we’ll enjoy handmade soba noodles at a local restaurant with insights into the land, food, and history.
To end our journey, we’ll sit on a bench or Aquatic Botanical Garden.in a fancy street freshly prepared Matchatea and a seasonal Nerikiri, a traditional Japanese sweet.
