Town with Jindaiji Temple

Jindaiji Temple stands in a corner of the city blessed with abundant greenery and spring water, retaining a strong Musashino landscape. Known as one of the oldest temples in the Kanto region, it is said to have been founded in the Nara period (710-794) by Jinko Shonin, and houses valuable temple treasures such as the Hakuho Buddha (Shaka Nyorai statue), which was designated a national treasure in 2017 (Heisei 29), and the temple bell, a national important cultural property. The abundant spring water in this area brought about the belief in a water god in the hearts of the people, and the name of Jindaiji Temple is derived from the water god, Jinsa Daioh. In front of the temple gate, there are many teahouses where worshippers can relax and stores selling the famous Jindaiji soba (buckwheat noodles).
