Zōjō-ji

Zōjō-ji is the head temple of the Pure Land sect with a history of over 600 years. It prospered as the ancestral temple of the Tokugawa family, and many shoguns rest here. Located right near Tokyo Tower, it creates a landscape where the modern and historical blend beautifully. The spacious temple grounds contain many cultural treasures, and a sacred space spreads that calms the hearts of visitors. Though in the heart of the city, it is a special place where one can experience profound peace.
