Zojoji Temple

増上寺

4.5Est. 30Tokyo, Kanto

Tokyo Tower rises directly behind the Sangedatsumon main gate, the oldest wooden structure in the city. The view puts five centuries in a single frame. For the most dramatic composition, visit after dark, when the tower’s lights cast a glow over the otherwise calm temple grounds.

Local tips

Best view of Tokyo Tower framed by the Sangedatsu Gate. Most atmospheric at night when the tower is lit.
