Consider visiting Tokyo\u2019s Great Buddha (Daibutsu) at Jorenji Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t even know there was a Great Daibutsu in Tokyo. I\u2019ve seen Great Buddhas in Fukuoka, Kamakura, and Nara, but I never thought to check if there was one in the largest city in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Great Buddha of Tokyo is located an hour by train and bus from Shibuya at the Jorenji Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surrounding area is a stark contrast to Shibuya. It\u2019s quieter and slower-paced, with community gardens and lots of small parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a beautiful area to walk around if you want to get a glimpse of everyday life in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see what the area is like in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/F5jEkhvAtk4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"

He wanted it to symbolize peace and protection for Tokyo and its residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History of Jorenji Temple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jorenji Temple has an over 600-year history. It was originally located in Saitama but moved to its current location early in the Edo period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The early shoguns of the Tokugawa family were known for their patronage of temples and shrines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see the connection to the shogunate through the prominence of the Tokugawa triple hollyhock crest on the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"convertkit-form wp-block-convertkit-form\" style=\"\"><script async data-uid=\"0eb5edd7ed\" src=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.kit.com\/0eb5edd7ed\/index.js\" data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" data-no-defer=\"1\" data-no-optimize=\"1\" nowprocket><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it\u2019s worth visiting the Great Buddha of Tokyo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temple grounds are tranquil and feature beautiful gardens, which allow visitors to experience the statue in a more serene and intimate setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The calm expression of the Buddha is designed to inspire meditation and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not as centrally located as other tourist attractions in Tokyo, the Tokyo Daibutsu offers a unique glimpse into Japan\u2019s spiritual traditions and everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Like this post?
