Zojo-ji Temple 増上寺 - Built in 1393 - Tokyo Japan
Zojoji Temple is a Buddhist temple at the base of Tokyo Tower.
Zojoji Temple 増上寺 is the head temple of the Jodo sect of Japanese Buddhism in the Kanto Region. Standing next to Tokyo Tower, the temple grounds consist of some impressive structures as well as a mausoleum of the Tokugawa family and a small museum.
Most of Zojoji's current buildings are recent reconstructions except for the main entrance gate, the Sangedatsumon, which has survived many fires, earthquakes and wars and dates from 1622.
The temple was originally built in the year 1393 and moved to its present location in 1598 by Tokugawa Ieyasu who selected it as his family temple. The mausoleum of the family is located at the back of the complex and contains the tombs of six of the Tokugawa shogun.
The small museum in the basement of the temple's main hall focuses primarily on the previous manifestation of the Tokugawa Mausoleum, which included ornate buildings before it was severely damaged during World War 2.
The temple is in immaculate condition. The styling is fantastic and the history for the Japanese people make it a must see if you are in Tokyo. You can combine it with a stop at the Tokyo Tower that is located within walking distance.
