About this spot

A historic temple said to be the second oldest in Tokyo after Senso-ji Temple, known for its lush green grounds and the street lined with soba shops in front of the main gate. After sampling the famous Jindaiji soba, visit the main hall and the Shaka-do Hall where a National Treasure statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is enshrined. The temple grounds are surrounded by trees and peaceful, offering a serene atmosphere surprising for a location so close to the city center. The appeal of this temple lies in the ability to experience both the bustle of the approach path and the tranquility of the temple grounds.

2026年9月12日(土)開催、調布市の秋の始まりを彩る花火大会です。多摩川周辺(調布市多摩川)から打ち上がる約10,000発の花火は、関東でも有数の規模を誇り、夜空いっぱいに大輪の花火が次々と広がります。川幅の広い多摩川ならではの開放的な会場で、遮るものの少ない夜空に花火が映える様子は圧巻です。フィナーレの連発が河川敷を明るく照らす瞬間は、この1日の締めくくりにふさわしいクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は市の公式発表で確認を。終了直後は最寄り駅やバス乗り場が大変混雑するため、フィナーレ後は河川敷で少し余韻を楽しんでからの時間差帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗いのでスマホのライトで安全に。

Tips

About 15 minutes by bus from Chofu Station. The soba shops at the main gate get crowded around lunchtime, so visiting earlier is recommended. Entry to the temple grounds is free. You can walk to the next destination, Jindai Botanical Garden, in just a few minutes.
