Great place to take some pics of Tokyo Tower. Also, the statues with funny hats are unmissable.

Founded in 1393. When the Tokugawa shogunate ruled JAPAN, this Zojoji Buddhist temple became the family temple of the Tokugawa family.

境内でののんびりした風景に、さるまわし芸、のどかな風景に一時の笑い、日本ですね。！浄土宗の七大本山の一つ。三縁山広度院増上寺（さんえんざんこうどいんぞうじょうじ）が正式の呼称です。酉誉聖聡（ゆうよしょうそう）上人によって、江戸貝塚（現在の千代田区平河町付近）に、浄土宗正統根本念仏道場として創建され、その後、文明2年（1470）には勅願所に、関東における浄土宗教学の殿堂として宗門の発展に寄与する。 Read more

安国殿の黒本尊は秘仏で1、3、9月の15日しか拝めませんが、本殿の阿弥陀如来はいつでも拝めます。また本殿では早朝や夕方5時頃には御勤めをしていますので薄暗い中ぼうっと明るく浮き上がるような阿弥陀様を拝みながらお経を聴くことができます。

江戸時代の初め源誉存応（げんよぞんのう）上人が徳川家康公の帰依（きえ）を受け大伽藍を造営、以後徳川将軍家の菩提寺として興隆。さらに江戸時代総録所として浄土宗の統制機関ともなる。戦災によって徳川将軍家霊廟は焼失しましたが焼失をのがれた三門・経蔵・黒門などを含む境内は、昭和四十九年（1974）完成の大本堂とともに、近代的に整備されました。

Muito próximo da Torre de Tóquio, esse templo é dedicado a crianças natimortas. É bem triste, por isso, mas oferece alento as famílias.

空襲で多くの木造建築が焼けてしまった東京では貴重な大型木造建造物である三門は見事。
