After visiting the area around the Tokyo Tower we walked across the road to the Zojoji Temple, an oasis of peace and relaxation in the centre of bustling Tokyo. The Daiden (Main Hall) at Zojoji Founded in 1393 as a fundamental nembutsu seminary of the Jodoshu School in east Japan, Zojoji later became the family temple of the Tokugawa shogunate.  The wooden gate of the temple remains as the original architectural reminder of the early 17th century and is designated as an important cultural property of Japan.
