    Tokyo Minato-ku Shibakouen 4-7-35
    This temple that belongs to the Jodo sect is located in Shiba Park in Tokyo’s Minato City and is situated close to the base of Tokyo Tower. Zojoji Temple was founded by the monk Yuyo Shoso shonin in 1393 as an orthodox and fundamental nembutsu seminary for the Jodo sect. It used to be a large-scale temple with more than 120 buildings and more than 100 dormitories, and structures such as the Important Cultural Property Sangedatsumon (Three Gates of Liberation) that escaped damage from the war and the reconstructed main hall give an indication of the temple’s former glory. Tokyo Tower can be seen in the background behind the main hall, making this a popular photo spot. Inside the temple is the mausoleum of the Tokugawa family which contains six of the 15 Tokugawa shoguns.

    A temple that is far from all the attractions in the city In my opinion it is worth a visit not only because of its days but because of its place and its message The temple is dedicated to babies...

It is a temple built in 1612 by Tokugawa Ieyasu in outer Sakurada to mourn for Imagawa Yoshimoto. After being destroyed by fire the temple was moved to Takanawa, Minato City in Tokyo. On the grounds there is Ako Gishi's Memorial Hall, a memorial hall for the Akogishi Warriors and many artefacts are on display. Many people visit the temple in the spring and winter when a festival for the warriors is held.

    This shrine was on my B-list of sites to visit - SO thankful that the woman sitting next to my daughter on the flight to Japan insisted we visited it. Like so many other shrines, it has the peace...

    2020年3月26日訪問。 三田通り、慶応大学東門の隣りにある小さな神社ですが、桜の時期が最高に素晴らしくて必見です！正面からは鳥居越しに、上から覆いかぶさるようにして迫ってくる桜。狭くて急な石段を登るにつれ、上下左右を桜の花に囲まれる感じになって来て、360度桜の花びらの中にすっぽり入った気分に。 正面奥の真っ赤な本殿をバックに、すばらしい写真が撮れます。 階段を登り切った左手奥に5-6人ほど座...

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
