Kichijōji Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kichijōji Station (吉祥寺駅, Kichijōji eki^?) is located on the JR Chūō Main Line and Keiō Inokashira Line, south west of Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan.

The city’s existence owes much to the fresh spring in Inokashira joining the Kanda river, which is now part of Inokashira park. The name Kichijoji, or Temple of the Goddess of Beauty, Happiness and Prosperity (吉祥 being dereived from 吉祥天, Kichijōten, and 寺 the sign for Buddhist temple) , is a popular name throughout Japan. However, this Kichijoji, situated close to Tokyo, was always a center for education and the arts. Other than the park, Kichijoji’s attraction lies in its diversity in culture, people and mix of restaurants.
