Zojo-ji Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Zojo-ji Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Tokyo’s Minato ward. Zojo-ji is notable for its relationship with the Tokugawa clan, the rulers of Japan during the Edo period. Six of the Tokugawa shoguns are buried in the Taitoku-in Mausoleum on the temple grounds. Zojo-ji’s main gate is the oldest wooden building in Tokyo, dating from 1622. Today, the cathedral and other structures have been rebuilt, and Zojo-ji Temple continues to serve as the main temple of the Pure Land Sect Buddhism and a central seminary for priests and novices. Set near Tokyo Tower, the temple complex is a great place for a stroll and for taking some great pictures.

The place where the cherry blossoms, shrines and Tokyo Towers of Japanese elements gather together is in Zengshang Temple. There are large cherry blossom trees in Zengshang Temple near the Tokyo Tower. Every time the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is amazing. It is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in the Tokyo Metropolitan area.
Zengshang Temple and Kumano Shrine near the Daemun Station are places where you can see the large Tokyo Tower very close, and people rarely take pictures. In fact, Zengshang Temple and Kumano Shrine are in the same place, and Kumano Shrine is at the corner of the entrance of Zengshang Temple. I used to find it very strange why there are often other inari shrines or other small shrines in the temple, obviously different religions! Later, I learned that the Japanese faith in the god Buddha was indistinguishable, so I would see that there was a shrine in the temple. At the Meiji era, the separation order of the god Buddha was issued, but I could not call the shrine to move, so I would use trees or fences to separate each other and pretend not to be in the same place.

Zengshang Temple is one of seven Daben Mountains in the west of the Japanese Pure Tuzong Town, but originally belonged to the temple of Zhenyanzong, formerly known as Guangming Temple. The first ancestor of Kaishan, the Shangsong of the Emperor, was educated by the seven ancestors of the Emperor of the Holy Temple in 1385 when he was released from Chiba Temple. She was converted to his door by the teachings of the true saying of the Emperor, and inherited the orthodoxy of the Emperor of the Holy Land in December 1393. The purpose of the temple was changed to Jingshizong and the temple was renamed Zengshang Temple. The three-length gate is the oldest building in Tokyo and the largest gate in East Japan. It belongs to the middle gate of Zengshang Temple. With the assistance of Tokugawa Kakamakawa, the main foreman of the Edo Shogunate was hired at the time, and was built in 1622. This gate can be said to be added to the many buildings built by the temple in the early days of Edo, the only remaining buildings left, the "three releases" in the name of the main buildings that were not destroyed during the war, which means that the three poisons "grave, greed, and idiot" can be freed.
