Visit Report: Zojoji Temple
A free nightscape spot offering beautiful views of Tokyo Tower with a stunning contrast between old and new
Zojoji Temple has 600 years of history and is beloved as a temple of "victorious fortune" that enshrines the secret Buddha statue "Kuro Honzon" associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
At night, you can admire the main hall standing majestically at the foot of Tokyo Tower, which glows in vermillion red.
This cross-generational contrast between old and new is truly worth seeing. When you visit the Tokyo Tower area, be sure to stop by.
