The Todoroki Valley

J.R.

Tropical walk in Tokyo

To the southwest of Shibuya, in Setagaya, there is a small, tropical setting: the Todoroki Valley. A beautiful walk little known to tourists!

 

Fudo Temple

After crossing several bridges on the edge of the river - inhabited by a few ducks - you will arrive at a small temple where the Japanese gather for a few moments before continuing their walk. At this level, a tiny waterfall tumbles down the rock. The legend says that it was once much more significant: it then "roared" along the rocks, producing this sound nicknamed " todoroki " in Japanese, hence the valley's name.

Continuing the path on the right, you will reach the Fudo Buddhist temple, surrounded by hundreds of cherry trees and therefore highly recommended during hanami. The place has a tea house where you can enjoy tea and pastries.

This exotic place is covered for about 1 hr, the valley extending for about one kilometer. Arrived at the end of the valley, at the junction level towards the Fudo temple, you can also continue the walk by taking the large stairs on the right to discover the charming Japanese gardens Todoroki, located in height and always accessible.

A bamboo grove and a traditional garden are located downstream of another small open park on a large lawn, where it is pleasant to rest for a moment in the sun before returning to other nearby visits, for example, the Gotoku- Ji, the Maneki-Neko temple located a few kilometers away.
