The name "Kichijoji", or "Temple of the Goddess of Beauty, Happiness and Prosperity" (吉祥 being derived 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 centre for education and the arts. Other than the park, Kichijoji’s attraction lies in its diversity in culture, people and mix of restaurants.
