But the existence of an authentic valley is what sets Todoroki apart as a unique attraction in Tokyo. A walk stretches for <strong>approximately 1 km following the course of Yazawa River<\/strong> (\u8c37\u6ca2\u5ddd, <em>Yazawa-gawa)<\/em>, one of the tributaries of the Tama River. It\u2019s a narrow valley due to fluvial erosion, where visitors have to descend several meters in order to access. This not only aids to create an enveloping and insulating sensation but also favors a humid and cooler microclimate since there\u2019s usually around 3 degrees of difference concerning the surface. This is why the Todoroki Valley is an excursion particularly popular with Tokyoites during the hottest times of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped caption-align-center wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85849\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113520\/Todoroki_02-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"parks to walk in Tokyo,  Road in Todoroki Valley\" class=\"wp-image-85849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113520\/Todoroki_02-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113520\/Todoroki_02-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113520\/Todoroki_02.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85850\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113526\/Todoroki_03-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Golf bridge in  Japan\" class=\"wp-image-85850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113526\/Todoroki_03-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113526\/Todoroki_03-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113526\/Todoroki_03.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Golf bridge&#8217;s bright red is nice contrast to the valley&#8217;s landscape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85851\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113531\/Todoroki_04-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tree canopy in Todoroki Valley in JApan\" class=\"wp-image-85851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113531\/Todoroki_04-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113531\/Todoroki_04-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113531\/Todoroki_04.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85852\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113536\/Todoroki_05-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"People walking on the shallow part of the river in Tokyo\" class=\"wp-image-85852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113536\/Todoroki_05-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113536\/Todoroki_05-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113536\/Todoroki_05.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The park&#8217;s lush vegetation transforms the walkway into a green tunnel.

The tombs are estimated to have been built between the late Kofun and the early Nara period (late 7th to early 8th century) and correspond to influential farmers in the Noge region, since ceramics and jewelry from the Kosai region of Shizuoka, as well as Nara ceramics from the time when Nara was the imperial capital, have been found at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped caption-align-center wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85858\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tunnel tomb at Todoroki\" class=\"wp-image-85858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113602\/Todoroki_11.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85859\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"illustration of tunnel tomb \" class=\"wp-image-85859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113607\/Todoroki_12.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85860\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"interior of tunnel tomb\" class=\"wp-image-85860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113612\/Todoroki_13.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Next to the stairs leading to tomb number 3, you can see an illustration of the interior, which can be seen through the entrance&#8217;s glass.

It\u2019s said that the waterfall sound inspired the valley name, from the verb <em>todoroku <\/em>(\u8f5f\u304f), which means \u201cto roar, rumble or resonate,\u201d as the waterfall used to carry a greater flow. <strong><em>Fudou no Taki<\/em> <\/strong>(\u4e0d\u52d5\u306e\u6edd) or Fudou Waterfall, owes its name to <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Acala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Fud\u014d My\u014d-\u014d<\/a> (\u4e0d\u52d5\u660e\u738b), one of the most prominent deities in esoteric Buddhism. This is the deity that had appeared to Kobo Daishi in his dreams to tell him about this place. When Daishi reached the valley, he recognized the same place he had seen in his dreams and when he touched the surface with his staff, water began to flow from this point. Hence the name of the waterfall, like the temple that was also founded here, Todoroki Fudouson (\u7b49\u3005\u529b\u4e0d\u52d5\u5c0a).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attentive readers are probably wondering how the kanji \u8f5f ended up turning into \u7b49\u3005\u529b for Todoroki. Sometimes, due to the complex history of <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/why-japanese-kanji\/\" class=\"ek-link\">kanji in Japan<\/a>, there are names whose kanji has varied throughout history or cases in which a kanji is simply chosen to maintain the phonetics of the name without necessarily having much relation to the meaning of the kanji. But in the specific case of Todoroki, the symbolism is relevant and has to do with the popular legend that gives its name to the waterfall and the temple. (\u7b49) can mean quality, equality, or continuity, while (\u529b) means strength or power. It\u2019s impossible to make an accurate translation of the name of the temple, but the underlying idea is about maintaining or extending the strength and protection of Fud\u014d-my\u014d\u014d to the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped caption-align-center wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85863\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113624\/Todoroki_16-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Fudo-myoo statue in todoroki valley\" class=\"wp-image-85863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113624\/Todoroki_16-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113624\/Todoroki_16-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113624\/Todoroki_16.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Statue of Fud\u014d-my\u014d\u014d above the waterfall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85864\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113628\/Todoroki_17-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's head from which spring water emanates\" class=\"wp-image-85864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113628\/Todoroki_17-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113628\/Todoroki_17-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113628\/Todoroki_17.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the spring&#8217;s streams emanating from a dragon&#8217;s head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"85865\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Statues of Kobo Daishi and Bodhisattva Kannon\" class=\"wp-image-85865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30113633\/Todoroki_18.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Facing the waterfall is a statue of Kobo Daishi (left) and Bodhisattva Kannon (right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Due to the sacred consideration of the water emanating from Fudou no Taki, in the past, it was often used as a place for purification rites for monks or worshippers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-todoroki-fudoson-temple\">Todoroki Fudoson Temple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously explained, Fudo-myoo is the deity who inspires, and to whom is consecrated, the Buddhist temple <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.manganji.or.jp\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Todoroki Fudoson<\/a> (\u7b49\u3005\u529b\u4e0d\u52d5\u5c0a), which was founded in the late Heian period (794-1192) by followers of Kobo Daishi and the Shingon School of Buddhism.

It\u2019s possible to get there in 30 minutes from Shinjuku-sanchome station or 20 minutes from Shibuya station, transferring to the Oimachi line at Jiyugaoka station. From Todoroki Station, the park entrance is a two-minute walk away. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1JBD-1HbT75bCX_V4MCMwvSu97QDqdyHd&amp;hl=en \" width=\"850\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Discovering the Todoroki Valley in Tokyo is an option of great interest when looking for accessible excursions from the areas most central of the city.
