walking in Chofu (4)

A local Jindaiji-volunteer guide showed us around
the precincts of Jindaiji--深大寺境内.

We were supposed to walk back to the Chofu Station.

But some members were too tired to walk, so we took
a bus for Mitaka and came back to Kokubunji by train.

I walked 18677 steps in a day.

After lunch we walked to 深大寺 temple.



We were shown into 客殿.



(teahouse,　茶室)




A young priest told us the history of 深大寺.

Then he showed us around the 客殿.

Here we are at 神代植物公園 !

I visited the garden on May 18 by myself and enjoyed
spring roses to my heart's content.

There were fewer roses blooming this time.
This time I enjoyed dahlias.

We had onigiri-lunch lying on the lawn.

Yesterday I joined ‘Green Road Walking Club’
and enjoyed walking in Chofu City.

(schedule)
国分寺駅　⇒　立川駅　⇒　分倍河原駅　⇒　調布駅　⇒
布多天神社　⇒　神代植物公園正門　⇒　芝生広場（昼食）⇒
深大寺　⇒　三鷹駅　⇒　国分寺駅

We 30 members met at the Kokubunji Station at 9:30.
We arrived at the Chofu Station at 10:30.

I was surprised to know it is the fastest and the least expensive
way from Kokubunji to go to Chofu by way of 南部線and 京王線.

A chief priest was waiting for us at the Chofu Station.

Our leader told us he is a famous priest among Buddhists
and an article about him appeared in some newspaper.

We started to walk with him to 深大寺 by way of 都立神代植物公園.

First we walked to 布多天神社.

Then we walked toward 都立神代植物公園..

On the way there we saw modern buildings along the street.

The following building a very, very large building.
It looked like a company building but we could not find
any name written on the building.

What is it?



How peaceful! It is the Nogawa River.



What is that building? We wondered again.



Tell me please, if you know what those buildings are.
