Karasuyama Teramachi

Teramachi means Temple Town.
Since there're 26 temples in north of Chitose Karasuyama station, it's also called small Kyoto.
It's too small to call Kyoto but there're enough unique temples to visit.

Most of temples have more than 500 years history but many of them were located in Edo (Tokyo).

All temples were relocated here mainly in 1920's.

Majority were relocated after Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.

Some of them were relocated due to urbanization in Tokyo like construction of subway or development of buildings.
