Around Chofu

Jindaiji's temple, soba, and a personal landmark

Chofu sits at the western edge of the city, and most visitors never make it out here. Their loss. Jindaiji is Tokyo's second-oldest temple, surrounded by water wheels, soba restaurants and a full botanical garden. It's also where Daniel proposed to his wife, so this site will always argue it's the most romantic spot in Tokyo.

Chofu has 4 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 1 shrine or temple, 1 park or garden, 1 special spot and 1 bathhouse. Read the Chofu guide.
