EXCITE!!Ikegami Honmonji Temple Gardens
The picture is not actually of the temples, but of a beautiful private garden attached to the temples, not available for public walking, only viewing from within a resting house.
There are two nice restaurants (Japanese and French) to eat or to arrange a private party (salon concerts are also held regularly), and there is a professional photo studio within the premises; for the special occasion you can arrange beforehand to have outdoor photos taken with the private garden all to yourself. It's a lovely quiet respite from the bustling city life which surrounds this area.
Great photos, virtual tours and event info. in Japanese, (and one page of religious history in English): http://www.honmonji.or.jp/
Fondest Memory:
Get there from East Side Kawasaki Station Bus Station #10, the Gotanda-bound bus and get off at "Honmonji-ura" Bus Stop, 10 min. walk.
Alternatively, 10 min. walk from either Toei Asakuka Line "Nishi Magome" Station, or Tokyu Ikegami Line "Ikegami" Station.
