Temple and Garden in Chofu

Today, I spontaneously took the train to Chofu to visit the Jindaiji Temple. It is currently hot and humid in Tokyo, which makes everything a bit sweaty. Below the temple, there are some nice restaurants and shops alongside a stream. Above is the botanical garden that you can stroll through comfortably to admire all kinds of plants. At this time of year, the large bloom is of course already over, but in the 'greenhouse' there are also many plants.

After a long walk around, I found myself in one of the mentioned restaurants to eat cold Soba. It also came with free cold tea. The green tea tasted a bit too much like coffee for me. So if someone is looking for a coffee substitute, they might want to try using (probably a bit special) green tea.
