Tsukiji Honganji is a famous temple near Tsukiji Market.
It is a rare temple that incorporates the design of ancient Asian Buddhist architecture, such as India.
They aim to be an open temple, not just a building, and are committed to making it easy to drop in to, with a cafe, organ, and sermons.
The head temple is Nishi Honganji, located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto.
The gates are open from 6am, and 2.5 million people come to worship every year.
Not only the exterior, but the main hall is a unique space that combines Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles.
A statue of Amida Nyorai is placed in the center.
Anyone can put incense in the incense burner, so I think it would be a good experience for foreign tourists.
There is a commemorative card for visiting.
The words of gratitude change every month, so you'll definitely want to complete it.
It is a building worth seeing in every corner.
I would like to visit again when I have time.
