The Buddhist temple Zōjōji is a treasure-trove of history nestled in the heart of Tokyo. Founded in 1393 by the priest Shōsō as a center of Jōdo Buddhism, during the Edo period (1603–1868), it was the family temple of the ruling Tokugawa clan. Today, visitors can tour the final resting place of several shōguns along with the temple’s impressive collection of historic artifacts. Zōjōji retains its importance for followers of the Pure Land sect, but also attracts sightseers and photographers who come to admire the contrasting scene of temple buildings and Tokyo Tower, which soars nearby.
