Lost in Tokyo's niche wonderland | Jinlongshan Treasure Guide 🏯

#TokyoItinerary My dears, in addition to the bustling city scene, Tokyo also has a great place where you can find peace of mind, and that is Jinlong Mountain! Today I will share with you my trip to Jinlong Mountain~ 🚗Transportation From Shinjuku Station, take the Keio Railway to Keio Hachioji Station, transfer to the JR Hachiko Line, get off at Takaosanguchi Station, and walk about 15 minutes from the station to the Kinryuzan Ropeway Station. It’s super easy to take the ropeway up the mountain, the scenery along the way is super beautiful, and you can also see the magnificent view of Mount Takao! 🏞️Attractions 🎐Jinlongshan Shanfu Temple: The core attraction of Jinlongshan, this ancient temple has a long history, and the vermilion buildings are particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of green mountains and trees. There is a magnificent five-story pagoda in the temple, which is great for taking photos. The temple also enshrines Medicine Buddha. Many people come here to pray, and it is said that it is very effective. As you step into the temple, the smoke of incense curls up, and the sound of Buddhist chanting around you instantly calms you. Take off your shoes and walk into the main hall. The exquisite murals and Buddha statues inside show the charm of traditional Japanese Buddhist art. 🌳Nature trail: After coming out of Zenfuku-ji Temple, don’t miss the nature trail next to it. Walking through the dense forest, the fresh scent of grass and soil hits you in the face, and you can hear birds singing from time to time, as if you are in a paradise. You can see various rare plants along the way. In autumn, the maple leaves dye the mountains and forests red, which is even more beautiful and picturesque. Every step you take is a scenery. 🍱Food There are many restaurants at the foot of the mountain, and we recommend tasting the special mountain vegetable dishes. For example, tempura made with fresh wild vegetables has a crispy crust and tender wild vegetables, and tastes great when paired with a special dipping sauce. There is also a wild vegetable hotpot, which is made with a rich soup base topped with a variety of wild vegetables and tofu. It is warming and delicious, adding more flavor to this trip to Jinlong Mountain. In short, Jinlong Mountain has both profound cultural heritage and charming natural scenery. It is very suitable for friends who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax. Next time you come to Tokyo, why not arrange a day to come here and experience the different charm of Tokyo! #TokyoTravel #Jinlongshan #JapaneseAncientTemple #NaturalLandscape
