Shorinji was founded in 1570 by Ujiteru Hojo. The name of the temple is the same with the famous temple in China, but it seems there is no relation with the temple. The temple is known as the many azalea flowers.
Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.
