We had an amazing time. My ten year old was riveted by our lovely guide - not an easy task. We sincerely enjoyed all parts of our tour.

豪徳寺といえば、「招き猫」というイメージは持っていましたが、なぜ招き猫が豪徳寺の代名詞になったのか、その背景を含め、ガイドの方が丁寧に解説してくれました。豪徳寺のほか、代官屋敷と松陰神社を案内してもらいましたが、都心から15分程度の場所にこうした静寂に包まれた隠れた魅力があることに喜びを覚えました！

很特别得体验。从新宿车站可以做小田急线非常方便，下车后直接走路就可以到豪德寺。途中会经过很多日本有特色的商店街，很适合拍照。领队导游很厉害，除了介绍景点之外，还会把景点相关的日本历史和文化告诉你，人非常好。像中国类似这样的景点也不少，但是像日本可以把文化保存得这么好的地方在中国还是比较少的。豪德寺在世田谷区，上下坡会比较多，整个行程需要走比较多的路，所以建议穿上舒适的鞋。
