2025 Koganei Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I visited a newly opened shaved ice shop on August 7th. The shop is called 'Yatsugatake Natural Ice Shaved Ice Chikori' located in Musashi-Koganei, Tokyo. The ice used is natural ice from Kuramoto Hachigi in Yatsugatake. Natural ice is made by slowly freezing natural water using only the coldness of winter, resulting in high-purity ice with few impurities. The fruits added to the shaved ice are also carefully selected. Most of the fruits are directly sourced by the owner from farmers, ensuring they are delicious and complement the shaved ice perfectly. The shop has a policy of not shaping the ice after shaving it, allowing customers to enjoy the fluffy texture. I tried mango, strawberry, and peach. Other customers' matcha azuki and Shingen looked delicious too. I plan to try them next time. With fluffy natural ice and delicious fruits, I feel like I can beat the hot summer.

【What it's like】 This park was created to preserve old buildings that are being lost and leave them as cultural assets for future generations. Most of the buildings were moved from other places with their shapes intact. You can hear from volunteers about how people lived in the past and how things were used. 【Recommended points】 At the Kodakara-yu public bathhouse, you can actually take photos in the bath! If you take photos with a film camera, you can take even more interesting photos. The building also has many shelves, which reminds you of Ghibli's Kamaji. 【Access】 5 minutes by bus from Musashi-Koganei Station on the JR Chuo Line #Tokyo #Tokyo #Trip to experience history and culture #Edo Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum #Musashi-Koganei #Historical sites

Walking through the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum feels like traversing a corridor of history. Classic buildings stand quietly, like imprints of time frozen in place, each preserving memories of Tokyo's past. The first sight to greet you is the traditional wooden houses of merchants, with their familiar lattice windows and warm lanterns, evoking the bustling atmosphere of Edo-period marketplaces. Following the path, you enter a rustic residential home, where tatami-matted rooms, wooden sliding doors, and a serene dry landscape garden in the courtyard reveal the aesthetic of life in those times. What moved me even more were the buildings that survived the Great Kanto Earthquake, standing resiliently through the ages, narrating tales of the city's endurance and sustainability. As the sun set, I stood in the middle of the park's streets, gazing at the intersection of the old and the new. The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum brings history to life in the most authentic way, leaving an indelible mark on my heart.

#東京行程 This place is like time-traveling through Japan’s history! The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Museum is an outdoor museum filled with real buildings from different time periods, from samurai-era houses to old-school bathhouses and even vintage shopping streets. It felt like I was inside a movie set! I loved walking around and imagining what life was like back then. Some of the houses even let you go inside, and I saw tatami rooms, old wooden kitchens, and vintage furniture—it really brought history to life. There’s also a super cute retro tram that you can check out! If you love history, photography, or exploring unique places, this museum is a must-visit. Plus, Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki used this place as inspiration for Spirited Away! It’s a bit outside central Tokyo, but totally worth the trip—especially if you want to experience old Japan without leaving the city.

#Tokyo Attractions I am fascinated by the beautiful bamboo forest in Koganei Park! Walking into the bamboo forest, the fresh air and the rustling sound of bamboo leaves make people feel extremely peaceful, as if they have entered a gentle world. 🎋✨ The Japanese-style garden landscape in the park is exquisitely designed, and the red bridges and stone lanterns by the pond are fascinating and perfect for taking photos. 🏯📸 In addition, there are Western-style garden buildings here, whose elegant appearance contrasts sharply with the surrounding natural landscape, allowing me to feel the cultural diversity. 🏰🌼 On the lawn of the park, laughter can be heard one after another, making the whole environment full of vitality! ✨🌈

This time I visited the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, which has a sizable area that you can stroll around for half a day. It's a bit far from the city center, but it feels very worthwhile ☺️ (and the admission fee is very cheap too)! Although there was a bit of light rain, the greenery of late spring and early summer was still very beautiful, and when paired with the aged Japanese architecture, it was stunning 🥰! There are also a variety of other styles of buildings in the park, including Japanese and European styles, and the interiors have been restored or preserved to match the scenes of the time, all constructed very delicately and beautifully! Moreover, every building has wheelchair access, there are Chinese guidebooks available, and the staff are very friendly.

Koganei Shrine in Koganei City, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It is said that the shrine was built in 1205 (Genkyu 2) during the development of Musashino, and was dedicated to the virtue of Sugawara no Michizane. During the Meiji Restoration, the shrine was renamed from "Tenmangu Shrine" to "Tenmangu Shrine." It is the guardian shrine of the former Kami- and Shimo-Koganei villages and Koganei Shinden, and in 1870 it was renamed Koganei Shrine after the place name. The shrine grounds are reached by climbing up a few stone steps. There is a plum tree and a cow statue in honor of the enshrined deity. In the back, there is a 3m-tall stone mill stacked in the style of a Fujizuka as a memorial for millstones that had outlived their usefulness. If you go further in, there is a kyudo field, and if you're lucky, you can actually see people shooting their bows! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Koganei Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-7-2 Nakamachi, Koganei City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Musashi-Koganei Station → About 14 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #ShrineLover #ShrineTour #ShrinesTemples #ShrineVisit

Maehara Shinmei Shrine in Koganei City, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Founded during the Tensho era (1573-1593), it is the guardian shrine of the former Kami-Koganei village. It was once enshrined at Koganei Shrine in 1909, but was restored to its original location in 1947. A stone torii gate suddenly appears, covering a general road in a residential area. After walking a little further, you will come across a splendid shrine building set in a secluded area. Beside it, there is a stone monument engraved with the words "Shinmei Shrine Main Hall Worship Hall Copper Roof". It was a shrine with a good atmosphere that quietly watches over the surrounding area. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Maehara Shinmei Shrine ꕥAddress: 3-15-18 Maeharacho, Koganei City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Musashi-Koganei Station → approx. 15-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrines and Temples #Shrines Tour #Shrines Visit #Shrines Lover

Shimo-Benzaiten in Koganei City, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It was founded in 1605. It is said that the Osawa Hayatonokami family, who moved to Nukui, cleared the land, invited the god of water to this place where clear water springs, and enshrined Benzaiten as the tutelary deity. And at some point, Nukui Shrine came to be called Kami-Benzaiten and our shrine Shimo-Benzaiten. It is now a sub-shrine outside the grounds of Nukui Shrine. The spring water in the pond stopped flowing between 1958 and 1961, and since then the pond at Shimo-Benzaiten has dried up. Now, all that remains are traces of the pond, and there is not a drop of water. The shrine is located in Shimobenten Children's Square, and although the shrine is small, the park is spacious and has play equipment. After some research, I found out that it was donated to the city by the Osawa family in 2015 and opened to the public as a park. I hope that it will continue to exist for a long time to come. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Shimobenzaiten ꕥAddress: 2-1 Nukui Minamicho, Koganei City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉Musashi-Koganei Station → approx. 19-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrine lover #Shrine visit #Shrine tour #Temple and shrine

This land above Osawa Pond was a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so it is said that the shrine took the name Osawa and enshrined the ancestor god. It is a small shrine a little way off the Shin-Koganei Kaido. As you walk along the refreshing bamboo forest, you will see a torii gate, and just beyond the torii gate is a shrine building. There is a roof to protect you from the rain when you worship. It is unmanned, but it seems that they sell amulets and other items.

Nukui Shrine in Koganei City, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It began in 1590 when the water god was enshrined as Nukui Benzaiten. In 1875, due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it was renamed Itsukushima Shrine. Later, it was renamed Nukui Shrine after it was combined with Nukui Shrine, which was located in the former Nukui Village. In 1985, the main hall burned down, and the following year it was restored, along with the corridor, Tamagaki fence, and Shinkyo Bridge, and it has remained as it is today. Nukui Shrine has spring water flowing through it, and it has been selected as one of the 57 best springs in Tokyo. Unfortunately, however, the water is not suitable for drinking. However, the pond is beautiful when viewed from the Firebreak Bridge, and listening to the murmuring of the spring water is soothing. To the left of the torii gate, there is a slope, but if you climb the stone steps you will find Fudo Myo-o Hall, Atago Shrine, and Yakumo Shrine, and the temple grounds are also beautiful when viewed from above! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Nukui Shrine ꕥAddress: 3-8-6 Nukui Minamicho, Koganei City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉Kokubunji Station → approx. 20 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrine tour #Shrine lover #Shrines and temples #Shrine worship
