Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple
Tsukiji, Tokyo
"The temple grounds are spacious, with the soft aroma of incense wafting through the air. There are plenty of seating areas, making it ideal for quiet meditation without interruptions."
This Buddhist temple was founded by the monk Shinran in the 12th century. The original structure burned down in 1657, was rebuilt, then destroyed by an earthquake in 1923 before it was rebuilt again. Its structure is modeled after ancient Buddhist architecture, which is more prevalent in India and other Asian countries. Visitors are invited to make offerings in the temple and roam the grounds.
