All Reviews of San'en-zan Kodo-in Zojoji Temple

Zojoji Temple was originally just another stop on my Tokyo itinerary, but after actually going inside, I unexpectedly grew to really like it. The ancient temple buildings, surrounded by skyscrapers and Tokyo Tower, create a fascinating feeling of crossing between the past and present.

What impressed me most was the peaceful atmosphere inside the temple. Even though bustling Tokyo is just outside, stepping in feels like instantly entering another world. Walking slowly and admiring the architecture also helped calm my mind.

Zojoji Temple is a historic temple with a solemn, dignified atmosphere. The temple and Tokyo Tower complement each other beautifully, creating a unique view. The grounds are quiet and peaceful, full of culture and history. It’s a worthwhile place to visit and pay respects in central Tokyo.

Beautiful and fun. I want to go again 👍👍

The view of Zojoji Temple’s main hall framed together with Tokyo Tower feels like a perfect blend of the old and the new, beautifully capturing the character of Tokyo and immediately drawing my attention.

Unlike the lively, bustling tourist atmosphere of Sensoji Temple, Zojoji feels more solemn and tranquil. Its spacious grounds let you slow down and take in the unique charm of past and present existing side by side.

Seeing Tokyo Tower paired with a temple is really something, and it’s unexpectedly beautiful.

Even though it's in the middle of the city, the temple sits on a huge property, so the sky feels wide and it's really peaceful. It's right next to Tokyo Tower, so you'll definitely want to snap some photos. I drew an omikuji and got 'daikichi' (great luck)!

The temple has a really calming atmosphere. Plus, you can see Tokyo Tower right next to it, so I couldn't help but snap a few extra photos.
