Tokyo’s Hidden Gem Near Tsukiji(1)

👉🏻 Tokyo’s Hidden Gem Near Tsukiji: A Must - Visit for Architecture Enthusiasts 🏯 When it comes to temples, Tokyo’s Asakusa Temple is always packed with tourists, sometimes so crowded that you feel like you need a breather. 🌟 🌊Near the bustling Tsukiji Market, however, lies Tsukiji Honganji, a temple that’s rarely visited by large tour groups. It offers wide - open spaces and architecture that’s worth savoring at a leisurely pace. 🌊The best part? Despite being in the heart of the city, it’s incredibly peaceful. 🌿 Founded in 1617, Honganji Temple was once next to Asakusa Temple. 🌊After a massive fire, it was relocated to Tsukiji, away from the hustle and bustle. When it was rebuilt in 1934, the renowned Meiji - era architect Itō Chūta, who had traveled extensively in Asia and the West, poured his cross - cultural experiences into this masterpiece. 🌇 #Tokyo #HiddenGems #ArchitectureLovers 🌊
