Zojoji Temple
Located in the heart of Tokyo, near the iconic Tokyo Tower, Zojoji Temple is a significant cultural and historical landmark that offers a tranquil contrast to the city's bustling modernity. Originally established in 1393 and relocated to its current site in 1598 by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Zojoji served as the family temple for the Tokugawa clan. Several shoguns from this influential family are buried in the temple grounds, making it an important site in Japanese history.

Standing at 333 meters, Tokyo Tower is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower but painted in bright orange and white, it has been a symbol of post-war rebirth since its completion in 1958. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from its main and top observation decks, offering breathtaking sights of Tokyo—and even Mount Fuji on clear days. The tower also houses shops, restaurants, and the quirky "Tokyo Tower Aquarium." Located in Minato, it's close to Zojoji Temple, making it a must-see on any Tokyo itinerary.
