Mar. 11, 2025
Nice to meet you all! This is the Chofu City Tourism Association Secretariat. Chofu City is located in the southeastern part of the Tama district, almost in the center of Tokyo, Located in 15 kilometers from the Shinjuku Vice Central Tokyo. It is a city full of charm where you can enjoy "movies", "Jindaiji Temple", "Ge no Kitaro", "fireworks", "Tama River", etc., where the charm of nature and the city are fused. ==Introduction to Chofu City== ■Jindaiji Temple The Jindaiji Temple area, blessed with abundant greenery and spring water, is loved as a place of relaxation. Jindaiji Temple is known as one of the one-of-the-best ancient temples in the Kanto region, and its Minamoto is said to have been founded by Manku Shoujin in the Nara period. Precious temple treasures such as the bronze Buddha Statue of Buddha (late Asuka period), which was designated as a national treasure in the 2017 (Heisei 29), are enshrinement. In front of the gate, there are tea houses where Worshippers can relax, and Specialties Jindaiji Temple Soba noodle stores. ■The city where Water Manga was born Chofu City is the "city where Water manga was born" where Shigeru Water, an honorary citizen of Chofu City, the creator of "Ge no Kitaro", lived for more than 50 years. Shigeru Water is loved and affectionately received by many citizens, so he was awarded the title of honorary citizen in 2008 (Heisei 20). You can meet Kitaro and his friends in various places in the city. ■ The City of Movies During the heyday of Japan films in the 1955 (Showa 30) era, in addition to Daiei and Nikkatsu, Chofu Film Studios Co., Ltd. (now around Tama River 2-chome), an independent production company, produced movies at three locations, and Chofu was likened to "Hollywood of the East." The film industry flourished in Chofu because of the Nature environment, which is suitable for both period and contemporary dramas, and because of the abundance of clean water, which is indispensable for film development. Chofu City, where about 40 film and video companies are still concentrated, has grown as a "movie town" and is used as a location for many movies and dramas. ■Chofu fireworks Chofu fireworks held in on the Tama River. In fact, it has a long history, and the first time it was held in was in Showa 8. After that, the history of the Chofu City Fireworks Festival began in Showa 57. Approximately 10,000 fireworks that are launched non-stop color the night sky of Chofu and are popular as Chofu Specialties Fun will Broadcast Tourist Information on Chofu City at COOL JAPAN VIDEOS!

Manda Pit is also hugely popular as a cosplay photo spot! Arao City's symbol Manda Pit In 2015 (Heisei 27) it was registered as part of the Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution World Heritage. The Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution—iron and steel, shipbuilding, and coal mining—represent the first successful spread of the Industrial Revolution from Europe to the non-Western world. Between the mid-19th century and the early 20th century, Japan achieved rapid industrialization in just over half a century. Now preserved as valuable industrial remains, Manda Pit has newly become extremely popular as a cosplay photo location!! Many cosplayers and photographers use the site. Visitors and staff alike find themselves captivated by the authentic costumes and makeup. Here are some precious off‑shot photos. When a shoot starts, the site feels different from the Manda Pit we usually see as staff, and that gives us a strange, wonderful feeling. Manda Pit is perfect for cosplay photography, offering everything from striking action shots to nostalgic scenes. You’re sure to get photos you’ll love—highly recommended. We look forward to your visit. Information Filming requires advance reservation and a photo shoot application form. Please download the application form from the Arao City website. For changing rooms and luggage storage please use the Manda Coal Mine Museum (paid). This also requires advance reservation. Please contact the Manda Coal Mine Museum for room availability.

Exploring Japan goes beyond just stunning landscapes; it’s a journey steeped in rich traditions. Experiencing traditional Japanese style tea ceremony and making Wagashi with friends in Kimono or Yukata is just a wonderful experience which I will remember my whole life. This is the other side of cool Japan beyond the Natural beauty and mouth watering food. We enjoyed it in Asakusa area of Tokyo.

Yamato City Event Tourism Association
Mar. 7, 2025
Hello everyone—this is the Yamato City Event and Tourism Association. We talked about a temple the other day, so today we will introduce a shrine in Yamato. Fukami Shrine is a shrine located about a 15-minute walk from Yamato Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line and the Sotetsu Line. The enshrined deities are Takemikazuchi no Kami and Takeminakata no Kami. Takemikazuchi no Kami is also known as the deity of Kashima Shrine, the head shrine Kashima Jingu, often called Kashima-sama. Both deities are powerful war gods associated with martial prowess, and they are indispensable for prayers for victory. Fukami Shrine is the only shrine in the city listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho, a register compiled in the Nara and Heian periods, making it one of the Engishiki-designated shrines. It has been recorded as one of the region’s representative shrines since ancient times. Fukami Shrine is also known for its harunire tree, selected as one of Kanagawa’s 100 notable trees and designated as a Yamato City historic site, scenic spot, and natural monument. This harunire reaches about 30 meters in height, which is rare in lowland areas like Yamato. Because its species was once unknown, locals originally called it the “nanjamonja tree,” and that familiar local name still endures. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, Fukami Shrine makes a lovely stop on a walking route. Fukami Shrine 3367 Fukami, Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture https://www.fukamijinjya.com//
