Tsukiji Honganji

Tsukiji Honganji is a Buddhist temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji sect, under the direct control of Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto.
The unique exterior of this building was created by an architect who favored ancient Buddhist design.
The rounded roof covering the Main Hall is shaped like a sacred fig leaf, with a lotus flower depicted in the middle.
To the left and the right of the large stairway leading up to the Main Hall, stand 2 statues of winged lions. Besides those, statues of various animals around the temple grounds greet visitors.
The beautiful stained glass above the black doors at the entrance to the Main Hall is another must-see!
