Shrine / temple History

Zojoji, built in 1393, is the family temple of the Tokugawa clan. The main gate, called the Sangedatsumon, stands over 20 meters tall, and you can find the Tokyo Tower right behind it. There are several halls along with the Hondo, or the main hall, and each provide a stunning traditional sight.
