TSUKIJI HONGWANJI TEMPLE
TSUKIJI HONGWANJI TEMPLE is a unique Buddhist temple located in Toyosu, Tokyo, known for its blend of traditional and modern architecture.
Unlike typical Japanese temples, Tsukiji Hongwanji’s design was influenced by ancient Indian Buddhist structures, with a striking facade resembling South Asian temples. Originally founded in 1617, the temple has been rebuilt several times due to fires and earthquakes. Today, it serves as a place for worship, cultural events, and even concerts. Tsukiji Hongwanji also offers monthly Dharma Sessions in English.
TSUKIJI HONGWANJI TEMPLE is easily accessible from Tsukiji Station and is close to the famous Tsukiji Outer Market, making it a popular spot for visitors to explore both culture and cuisine.
