Why Travelers Love This
Discover Tokyo's roots through a unique program at historic Meisatsu Zojoji Temple, a site with strong ties to the Tokugawa Shogunate. Established by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the temple served as the Tokugawa family temple (Bodai-ji), with six shoguns laid to rest here. Despite fires and air raids, Zojoji has been rebuilt, and its Sangedatsumon Gate is now a National Treasure. A local guide will lead you through the temple grounds, sharing the Tokugawa legacy and Edo's peaceful heritage that shaped Tokyo’s foundation. Join this cultural journey into one of Japan’s most revered sites.
