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.
