    We got tired over the years visiting places like Asakusa for our anual new years prayer, because those have become to over-crowded. This is the second year we went to Omiya Hachiman and it is still big enough for a festive atmosphere, but feels intimate compared to the 'big' ones. Food stalls were great.

    This crescent shaped mall in Asagaya is a great place for locals living in the area to do their shopping but it doesn't mean that tourists won't get anything out from coming here. As there are so many variety of shops in the mall, there's a good chance you could pick something interesting up as a souvenir or anything else for that matter. I enjoyed walking through the long mall and checking out the shops. It may not be on the list of places that tourists go to whilst staying in Tokyo but I'd say come here and explore the area. You may end buying something you can't find anywhere else.

    『高円寺』という杉並区にある地名・地域の由来となった寺院です。地域としては、高円寺駅を中心に商店街が多く、休日を中心ににぎわっていますが、この寺院は周囲が住宅街であるからか、休日であってもとても静かで、祭事でもない限り訪れる人も少なくひっそりとしています。境内も広くはなく、周遊するだけであれば30分と要しません。無料で拝観できますが、基本的に本堂内に立ち入ることは出来ません。
    境内の中央に大きなイチョウの樹が植えられており、晩秋~初冬にかけて、美しい黄色に染まったイチョウの樹を堪能することが出来ます。
    境内の西側に鎮座する稲荷社に、見事な龍の彫刻の鳥居があります。双龍鳥居と呼ばれており、東京に3門のうちの一つですが、この鳥居が最も小さいです。

    This temple is the origin of the name of the place and area called "Koenji" in Suginami-ku, Tokyo. The area is bustling with shopping streets around Koenji Station, especially on holidays, but this temple is very quiet even on holidays, probably because it is surrounded by residential areas, and few people visit unless there is a festival. The temple precincts are not large, and it takes less than 30 minutes just to walk around. The temple is free to visit, but basically you are not allowed to enter the main hall.
    A large ginkgo tree is planted in the center of the temple precincts, and visitors can enjoy the beautiful yellow color of the ginkgo tree from late fall to early winter.
    The Inari Shrine, located on the west side of the temple precincts, has a torii gate with two magnificent dragon carving. Known as the twin dragon torii, it's one of three gates in Tokyo, but this torii is the smallest.

    Right when you get out of the station, there are three shotengais in either direction that you go to. Most of them are pretty much the same, a bunch of restaurants, drug stores, game stores, clothing, etc.

    It is a good idea to take a bit of a stroll and find what you need first. Don't really need to bother going into any of the stores, unless you like something. The drug store is somewhere that I usually go into.

    People are still friendly and you can ask questions. They don't expect you to buy anything and they will be happy to see foreigners in this part of town. There are not that many!

    So, I have made it to 153 UN countries. Interested in reading my blogs? If so, you can check out my blog at pinchetravels.com
