Chofu

Chofu is best known in Tokyo for Jindaiji Temple, one of the capital’s oldest Buddhist temples and the centre of a long-standing soba tradition. The city lies west of central Tokyo, with the Tama River marking much of its southern edge and the Musashino plateau shaping its largely residential setting. Near the temple, Jindai Botanical Gardens bring a broad collection of trees and seasonal flowers to the city. Chofu is also associated with Japanese filmmaking: Nikkatsu Chofu Studio and other local facilities have made it a working base for the screen industry.
