Meguro Fudoson Ryusenji Temple (目黒不動尊 瀧泉寺)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Ryusenji, known affectionately as Meguro Fudoson, is a temple that has drawn worshippers since ancient times as one of the Five-Colored Fudo of Edo. The main hall stands at the top of a steep flight of stone steps, and simply looking up from below feels like a small adventure for a child. Water known as Tokko Falls flows within the grounds, making it a fitting place to begin a day centered on water. Traditional shops line the approach, and the atmosphere of the street itself conveys the history of the Meguro area. Rinshi-no-Mori Park is within walking distance, so you will not lose time in transit.

Tips

There are many stone steps in the grounds, so it is safer to leave the stroller at the bottom and carry your child up. A fair is held on the 28th of every month, when the approach becomes lively. Agreeing in advance to worship quietly helps everyone stay calm. Shops are limited, so prepare drinks before you leave.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is the most comfortable time
