I stayed in the Chofu area of Tokyo and on my last of 3 days there, decided to see something nearby. I went to the Jindaiji Temple and it was beautiful, serene, Tons to see and explore, there appeared to be monks that maintained it, and there are supposedly award winning soba. I’m sad I didn’t give myself more time here, I had to rush away after an hour. The Temple area is free. There is also a paid botanical garden I never got to see before it opened at 9:30.

Highly recommend as a quiet retreat! Easy to get to Chofu station, can either bus directly to the Temple from the station or take a 30 minute walk with google maps if you feel adventurous.
