都心にあるにも関わらず広大な敷地に建っているので、空が広くて静かな寺です。東京タワーのすぐ近くでついつい写真を取りたくなります。おみくじを引いたら大吉でした！

Located at the base of Tokyo Tower is Zojoji, an Omotoyama temple of the Jodo sect of Buddhism.
Enshrined in Zojoji's Ankokuden Hall is the hidden black image of Buddha worshipped by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period. Since he won one battle after after another, visiting this temple is said to increase the chance of victory.
The temple grounds feature the "Sangedatsumon," which represent the three types of training to attain enlightenment and liberation from worldly desires: "Kumon," "Muso-mon," and "Mugan-mon." These gates are also commonly known as the "Sanmon." There are also important cultural properties such as the Tokugawa shogunate family gravesite.
Surrounded by skyscrapers, spend a calm and quiet moment in the middle of the city.
