A wonderful temple, rich with history. Very photogenic in the morning time - good atmosphere. It is very culturally important

Well, as you exit the station, you are greeted by Tora san! Amazing route to the temple! As you pass a variety of stores selling; senbe, pickles, snacks, and gifts. The front entrance of the temple is amazing with beautiful carvings and the grounds are well kept. The main entrance you can peer into the temple- no camera or photography!! I think theres a separate fee for entry! Apart from that! This is one of the best places to visit in Japan. It feels like Kyoto, Asakusa in one! Definitely put this place on your list! For places to visit!

Came to see Tora-san's home town! Only took me 20 years! Smaller than the movies. Seemed bigger in Tora-san. But the temple is beautiful regardless. Finally get to see the temple and Toraya in real life.

Shibamata Taishakuten Daikyaji Temple is a Buddhist temple of Nichiren sect, and the Temple has about 400 years. The Temple is free for entry, although it charges Yen 400 for admission to visit garden and carving hall. Its carving hall has very stylish classic carvings with Buddhism themes, and it is really worthy for the visitors to have the visits. The Temple is relatively quiet and visitors can take time for the visit.

It was a quiet Monday morning at Shibamata Taishakuten Daikyoji. It took me awhile to successfully transit and reach this place though. I would imagine the street / pathway is crowded over the weekends. I was hoping to seize the advantage of the weekday and enjoying the moments, away from the noise for at least several hours. Coincidentally I chanced upon several “ponds” of lotus within the temple. Just love these lotus so much which seemed to remind busy folks to slow down our pace at work, pause & take a moment to appreciate the surroundings occasionally & live life beautifully as Lotus! Prior heading back, I also tried out the local famous dessert with red beans, to my surprise, I believe I was their first patron for the day.
