Zojoji Temple, located in the heart of Tokyo and continuing to protect the tombs of the Tokugawa Shoguns, is a place of training as the head temple of the Jodo sect. It is also attracting attention as an Instagrammable spot with Tokyo Tower towering behind its precincts.
The Jodo sect, which has the simple teaching that ‘anyone can be reborn in the Pure Land if they simply chant ‘Namo Amida Butsu’,’ was founded in 1175 when its founder, Honen, was influenced by the ideas of the Chinese monk Shandao.
In the main hall of Zojoji Temple, the ‘Great Hall’, the principal image ‘Wooden Amida Nyorai Statue’ is enshrined in the center, and Honen Shonin and Zen Master Shandao are seated on either side of it.
The view of the temple and Tokyo Tower together might give you the feeling of time-traveling between Edo and Tokyo.
