A soothing power spot in Tokyo where tradition and innovation intertwine
【Tsukiji Hongwanji】

Located in the heart of Tokyo, right next to the Tsukiji Market, Tsukiji Hongwanji captivates visitors with its distinctive architectural style.

Its exterior, modeled after ancient Buddhist architecture of Asia such as India, was designed by architectural historian Dr. Chuta Ito, and adorned with stained glass and numerous animal sculptures, evoking an exotic atmosphere as if you were traveling along the Silk Road.

Inside the main hall, a spacious worship area and the principal image of Amida Nyorai enshrined at the center stand out; while retaining the form of a traditional Shin Buddhist temple, in 2014 the main hall, stone wall, and the gate pillars of the three gates were designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

This open temple is a special, soothing place not only for local residents but also for visitors from Japan and abroad.

※Tsukiji Hongwanji is currently undergoing construction, scheduled through around December 2026.
As a result, it may be difficult to photograph the exterior during this period. We apologize for the inconvenience; the temple remains open for worship as usual during the construction period, and we look forward to your visit.
