Zozoji Temple

Zozoji Temple is strategically located near Tokyo Tower, creating a picturesque backdrop that seamlessly merges ancient serenity with contemporary vibrancy. It was originally established in the Asakusa area in the 14th century and relocated to its current home in the 16th century. Zozoji served as the primary site for Tokugawa shogun’s family internment rituals thus preserving centuries of Japanese heritage within its sacred precincts.

This iconic landmark is surrounded by lush greenery and sacred structures, serving as a spiritual oasis in a bustling urban landscape. Our Go Kart tour takes you right to the entrance of Zozoji Temple where you are greeted by the impressive Sangedatsumon Gate, a symbol of Zojoji's historical significance.
