► I just discovered this temple recently – more or less by chance. It’s located in Higashi-Koenji, Tokyo, which is a pretty “offbeat”-area of Tokyo, that tourists wont find mentioned in most guidebooks. But this temple is really worth a visit, as visitors are allowed to access most of the buildings, which is a kinda rare opportunity, as opposed to other temples, where even taking photos are prohibited in mainbuildings and/or prayerhalls.
Easy access by Marunouchi Line. – Enjoy!

*electricuted duck thumbs* (<< still making a design)
I've never seen something like this in my country . . .
Wonderful video Thomas. The temple looks so beautiful and interesting with all the bridges.
Wow….Thank you very much for sharing this veeeery good video!^^ This style of
construction is called ''shinden-zukuri''(bridges the connects the buildings) which
I like the best!^^

This is fantastic, very wonderful. I want to go too. ^__^
Thomas, you're one lucky guy that is able to visit these beautiful places! D:
映像や建物の美しいビデオですな。ただ私は寺は幽界の人間的なもので、古い神社は別格だと思う。神社で天の声を聴く話は多いけど寺には無い。てな感じで最近寺には興味がなくなった。。。あと英語読めないから簡単な文章か日本語でお願いねｗ
Very nice find, Thomas !!! Love all the wooden architecture of the building and hall ways . So neat and clean and very thing in order . The grounds are very nice also !! The architecture of the long hall ways remind me of several castles I have seen video's of, in Japan. I do not think I have seen a bell made quite like the one at the temple., very different . It is amazing that they let you video the main alter , most temples don't let you do that from what I have seen in different videos.
How beautiful place, thank you for showing this.
agreed with the comment below mine XD
