Located 45 minutes from home is the Kuhonbutsu temple complex. Still in the middle of the Tokyo sprawl I stumbled across this temple completely by accident and was blow away by how quite the whole area was. It is probably one of the most serene, spiritualif you like, temples I have been to in Japan. No crowds and beautiful buildings with many of the temple building containing statues of Buddha.
The temple was built in the mid 1600’s by a Buddhist group on land that formally made up part of a castle.
After passing through a massive gate there is a tranquil little water spot to sit back and contemplate life.
Further around there are budda foot prints (according to the sign representations of Budda footprints were used prior to people making Budda statues because they were easier to make.
