[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Tsukiji Hongwan-ji Temple (Updated Apr)

#TokyoItinerary Ohayogozaimatsu! Tsukiji Honganji Temple is a landmark temple in Tokyo. It was just designated as an Important Cultural Property in December 2014. This temple is different from ordinary Japanese shrines and temples. The place name "Tsukiji" means construction land, which conveys the origin of this land being reclaimed from the sea... Hmm, I learned something new! In 1934, Chuta Ito imitated ancient Buddhist buildings in India and other parts of Asia and rebuilt the Tsukiji Honin-ji Temple after a fire and earthquake. Because he is famous for his love of monsters and mythical beasts, there are cows, horses, lions, elephants, peacocks, monkeys in the building... The open morning ritual held here at 7 a.m. every day provides an opportunity for meditation and calming the mind. After the ceremony, you can go to the "Tsumugi" cafe in the temple and enjoy the popular "18-course breakfast". This breakfast combines 16 exquisite side dishes, such as Jiwen fish cake, truffle tamagoyaki, plus clear porridge and miso soup. The porridge is super smooth and delicious. The best part is that you can refill it for free and you can also make more tea. There are many dishes with delicate textures and special flavors, which are definitely worth a try! It not only satisfies the taste buds, but also brings a unique sense of ritual. But you must make an appointment on the official website. When we arrived, we saw two queues, one for those with reservations, and one for those waiting for a table. When the time came, those with reservations took their seats and ordered their meals immediately. There are very few spots available on site, and I don’t know how long I will have to wait.

#TokyoTravel Tsukiji Hongwan-ji Temple 📍It is a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, located opposite the Tsukiji Fish Market. After walking around the fish market, you can go inside and admire the beauty of the temple. 📍In front of the temple, there is a place to cleanse your hands before entering the temple to worship. The water is very clear and cool. 📍The temple building that is open to visitors is very large. The roof is built in the shape of a high stupa, similar to Indian or Hindu art, I'm not sure. Inside the temple, it is beautifully decorated. The walls and ceiling are decorated in the style of Japanese art. There are chairs for those who come to worship or join the ceremony inside the temple. 📍Before going back, take a walk to take pictures of the atmosphere outside. There is a beautiful garden in the Japanese style. 📍Tsukiji Hongwan-ji Temple, Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo 📍Open for viewing from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 📍Coordinates: https://g.co/kgs/SGwpWqR

#FuriTabi Tsumigi Cafe, located in Tsukiji Honganji, Tokyo☺️ Breakfast is popular here and there is a line from the morning. You can make a reservation, so if you know your plans in advance, we recommend making a reservation! And the popular 18-item breakfast☺️ This is a limited menu only available in the morning. 16 side dishes, porridge, and miso soup served in small portions on small plates. Each dish had a very refined taste and was very delicious. It was a large amount for the morning, so I was a little worried about whether I would be able to eat it all, but it was just right as it was served in small portions☺️ The cafe is completely made of glass, so the sunlight came in and it was very pleasant. ———————————————————- 📍Location: 3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Honganji Information Center, Cafe area inside the building 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 Breakfast served until 10:30 💰Price per person: 18-item breakfast ¥2200 #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵 #domestictravel #100travelstyles

#Temple #100 Ways to Travel 🕰️Opening hours: 6am to 4pm 📍Address: 15 minutes walk from Tsukiji Market Station, Tokyo Metro 💰Average consumption per person: Free visit 💞Reason for recommendation: The Buddhist temples in Tokyo all have a distinctly Japanese style, but Tsukiji Motoko is one of the alternative Buddhist temples. It is right next to Tsukiji Market Station. It has the architectural style of Western Buddhist temples, round arch type plus spire, very characteristic, the guardian beast is a winged lion 🦁️ very special 😍⛩️

Tsukiji Honganji is within walking distance from Ginza and Tsukiji. This is a Jodo Shinshu temple, and the beauty of the main hall is astonishing. It doesn't look like an ancient Japanese building, but rather has an oriental image of Buddhism being introduced via the Silk Road. 90% of the visitors are tourists, and there are many foreigners. They have pamphlets in English and Chinese, so they are also catering to foreign visitors. I went there in late April, and the azaleas were beautiful. Whether you're a Buddhist, an architecture lover, or a tourist, why not go and see it at least once? If you do, be sure to try the breakfast. It's a little expensive, but they have a breakfast with lots of bite-sized side dishes lined up. I'd like to try it someday! #PR #TokyoTourism #TsukijiHonganji #Ginza #Tsukiji #ShrineTempleVisit

On a weekday morning off work, I went to Tsukiji Honganji Temple with my grandparents for breakfast! Unlimited refills of porridge and 18 kinds of side dishes! It was a vegetarian meal, but I wondered if they would serve octopus with salted koji or duck loin...? But they told me that I could just ask about what they told me later. So it was a good night with energy from the morning♪ I made a reservation and had to wait a bit, but there was a book cafe attached, and I was seated while I was looking around♪ #TokyoSightseeing#Tsukiji#TsukijiHonganji Temple

Tsukiji Honganji is a Jodo Shinshu Honganji temple with a history of nearly 400 years, and the current main hall was completed in 1934. The exterior is magnificent, in an ancient Indian style, and resembles a European palace. In contrast, the interior is gold, glittering, and intricately decorated. The principal image enshrined is a statue of Amida Nyorai. A distinctive feature is the guardian lion-like imaginary creature, with thick legs like a lion and impressive claws... The temple is welcoming and welcoming to visitors, with friendly and detailed explanations.

Address: 3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, inside Honganji Temple Subway Hibiya Line Tsukiji Station Exit 2 This spot is about a 10-minute walk from Ginza. There aren't many foreign tourists, so it's a very relaxing trip. Tsumugi's most famous dish is the 18-item set meal, which is limited in quantity each day and requires reservations in advance or arrival early before opening to queue up for a number plate. The all-you-can-eat set meal is a very authentic Japanese breakfast. At 825 yen including tax, it is very affordable, and many local guests come here to have morning tea and chat. The lunch menu and desserts served after 11:00, as well as a wide variety of Japanese drinks for takeout, are also available. After lunch at Tsukiji Outer Market, you can take a walk to Honganji Temple to take a break and have afternoon tea. #TokyoFreeTravel #Tsukiji #Ginza

#TokyoTravel #JapanTravel #TsukijiMarket Let's go to the Tsukiji Inner Market, which is now closed. The inner market ended operations in October 2018, but the outer market still remains. It is the world's largest fish market and a representative place for Japanese food. It is a place that cannot be left out when it comes to Japanese food, to the point that it is called the kitchen of Japan. It has been featured in many media outlets, but the most famous one is probably Mister Sushi King.

Tsukiji Hongwanji is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha denomination, also known as Shin Buddhism, which was founded by the monk Shinran (1173-1263) and whose head temple is Hongwanji (Nishi Hongwanji) in Kyoto.

Tsukiji is bustling with restaurants during the day, but visiting at night offers a whole different experience. The night view, including Tsukiji Honganji Temple, is spectacular, and just walking around will catch your eye. #breathtakingview #nightview #nightviewphotography #Tsukiji #RainbowBridge #beautifulsea

[Tsukiji Honganji Temple's recommendation: Morning activity to build up stamina with a tour of egg breakfasts] If you're touring the Hibiya Line, we recommend starting in Tsukiji in the morning. For those who are tired of seafood, we'll be touring other delicious things besides sushi, so make sure you're hungry from the night before. Tsukiji Honganji Temple, located just outside the station, is a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple beloved by its followers and the local community, and also houses a Buddhist school, where many funerals for famous people have been held. The gorgeous gold Jikoin Temple is guarded by the Amida Buddha, said to have been hand-carved by Prince Shotoku, and is used by office workers who arrive in the rush hour to relax in the morning before going to work. Tsukiji Honganji Temple was designed in an eclectic style inspired by ancient Buddhist temples in India and Asia, by architect Dr. Chuta Ito, who traveled the Silk Road to study temple architecture around the world in order to evolve Japanese architecture during the Taisho era. It has a pipe organ, which is not usually found in Buddhist temples, and holds concerts here. The cafe in the information center serves a healthy vegetarian breakfast set of 18 dishes only in the morning. Tsukiji's fresh fish market has now moved to Toyosu, but the outer market for tourists and general shoppers is still standing, with gorgeous street food and casual Japanese-style bistros lining the streets. 🕌Tsukiji Honganji Temple 💰Price per person: Free entry 🕰️Opening hours: 6AM-4PM 📍Location: 3 Chome-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-8435 🍳Torimeshi Toritou Branch You can eat a bowl of fresh chicken and eggs at a low price, directly managed by a wholesale company specializing in chicken, poultry meat, and eggs. 💰Price per person: 1000-2000 🕰️Opening hours: 7:30AM-1:30PM close:Wed,Sun 📍Location: 4 Chome-8-6 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045 🍳Tsukiji Marutake Tamagoyaki You can eat freshly made tamagoyaki at a low price. 💰Price per person: 1000 🕰️Opening hours: 4AM–2PM 📍Location: 4 Chome-10-10 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045 🥄Sekai-ya Sekai-ya is a specialty store for professional kitchen equipment and cooking tools, as well as household kitchen utensils, and is especially rich in Japanese pots and steamers, Chinese cooking tools, and inventive kitchen accessories of higher quality than Japanese 100-yen shops. 🕰️Opening hours: 6:00–15:30 Closed: Sundays, holidays, and market holidays 📍Location: 4-9-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 🍛🍲🍣Recommended food in Tsukiji: Freshly baked croissants and bread shops and siphon coffee shops are affordable at around 300–1000 yen.

Day 1: Immersed in History Tokyo's morning sun breaks through the clouds, casting a warm golden hue over the city. I began my day of exploration at Tsukiji Hongan-ji, a temple with a history spanning over a century and one of Japan's most iconic Buddhist temples. As I stepped inside, the air was thick with the scent of incense, and the flickering candles on the altar stood in stark contrast to the surrounding tranquility. Despite being located in the heart of Tokyo, the temple's interior exudes a serene and peaceful atmosphere, making one feel as if they have traveled through time, far from the city's hustle and bustle. Day 2: Bustling Markets and Modern Energy Influenced by the profound experience at Tsukiji Hongan-ji, I decided to visit the nearby Tsukiji Market to experience its vibrant energy. The market buzzes with activity in the morning, with vendors enthusiastically calling out, and an array of fresh seafood, colorful fruits, and vegetables on display. This place is one of Tokyo's beating hearts, with each stall telling its own unique story. After savoring some sushi, I left the market, still hearing the lively chatter, yet feeling a sense of quiet and contentment within—a city's multifaceted nature unfolding before my eyes.

There is a very large square in front of the temple. At first, we did not intend to go to this temple, but it was on the way to the Tsukiji fish market. It looked very beautiful from the outside, so we decided to stop by. We were not disappointed. The inside is very beautiful. 🚂 How to get there: Get off at Tsukiji Station.

"Tsukiji Sightseeing" I thought it was too late to go, but I actually went and enjoyed it🥰 When you leave Tsukiji Station, right next to it is Tsukiji Honganji Temple It was crowded with tourists. Admission fee: Free Then we had lunch at Tsukiji Sushicho Main Branch, a sushi restaurant near Tsukiji Station🍣 The "Mai" lunch set is 9 pieces for less than 1000 yen👍 It's a popular restaurant, so you may have to line up depending on the time! However, we went to the restaurant before opening, wrote our names on the waiting list, and went to Tsukiji Honganji Temple. We then returned to the restaurant at opening time and were able to enter without having to line up💕 After lunch, we went to Tsukiji Outer Market🚶 It was crowded with people, but it's a perfect area for eating around. It was a typical route, but it was fun♪ Everyone, please try it♪ #TokyoTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #TsukijiGourmet #Tsukiji #TokyoTourism

If anyone has the opportunity to visit Tsukiji Fish Market🐟🍣, I would like to recommend visiting Tsukiji Hongwan-ji Temple, a beautiful temple that I would like to recommend you to experience its beauty at least once. The interior of this temple is beautiful. We can see that the building is different from other temples in Japan because it is a building that uses Indian architecture mixed with Japanese culture. When walking into the building, the interior of the building is cool and comfortable. You can go in and worship the sacred objects. Outside the building, there is a green garden that makes you feel refreshed. In addition, not far from the garden, there is also a beautiful and eye-catching statue of the monk Shinran for us to take beautiful pictures to take back. #TokyoTravel #JapanTravel

＼Tokyo's most famous temple／ As soon as I got off at Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, I saw an impressive structure✨ ✨Tsukiji Honganji✨ It was so impressive that I was drawn inside. (Photography is prohibited inside the main hall) It was my first time to see such a large and impressive place of worship. There were many worshippers sitting on hundreds of chairs lined up. Then, a very large pipe organ caught my eye😳 I wondered why there was an organ in a temple? I looked it up and found out that Buddhism also has Buddhist hymns😊 Apparently, concerts are held regularly✨ Even so, it was a Western-style building, far from the image of a temple. I was curious about this too, so I looked it up and found out that it was because it adopted the architectural style of "India", where Buddhism began. There was also a cafe on the premises✨ It's wonderful to know history. It was a valuable experience! ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ Tsukiji Honganji Temple 📍3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Main hall worship hours: 6:00-16:00 ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ #Yokohama #Yokohama sightseeing #Yokohama trip #Travel with me

#cherryblossom2024 🤗🩷 I embarked on an exhilarating adventure to the lively city of Japan during our vacation. The onset of spring transformed the surroundings into a utopia, and wandering through Tsukiji Hongawanji brought a sense of rejuvenation. Encircled by breathtaking sceneries in this serene sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking sights that never failed to astound us, crafting indelible memories. This exquisite temple serves as the Tokyo outpost of the prestigious Nishi-Honganji Temple in Kyoto, dedicated to Jodo Shinshu, the predominant sect of Buddhism in Japan. Originally founded in Yokoyamacho near Asakusa in 1617, the temple tragically succumbed to the ravages of the Great Fire of Meireki, prompting its relocation to the elegant surroundings of Tsukiji. Crafted in the year 1934, the present-day exterior of this remarkable edifice is adorned with an exquisitely exotic stone facade, embellished with an enchanting Indian architectural motif. As one ventures inside the Main Worship Hall, affectionately known as Hondo, they are greeted by a splendidly traditional Shinshu temple style. The intricate stained glass, resplendent chandeliers, and opulent furniture within are truly a sight to behold from a close vantage point. This magnificent creation was envisioned by the eminent architectural historian, Ito Chuta, who held the esteemed title of honorary professor at the illustrious Tokyo Imperial University, now recognized as Tokyo University. Furthermore, as the sun sets, the temple is bathed in a captivating illumination, unveiling a captivating alter-ego that adds to the allure of its structure. The luxurious and enchanting retreat has left an indelible impression in the depths of my memory. The delight of returning and cherishing each moment in this unique sanctuary is truly unparalleled. ✨️🩷🌸#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Founded in 1617 as a branch temple of Nishi Honganji Temple. Rebuilt in 1934 in the current style of ancient Indian and Asian Buddhist architecture.

Large Buddhist Temple located right across the street from Tsukiji Fish Market. It takes about a 5 min walk. From the exterior, it definitely do not look like a temple, so it was pretty cool to see the different architecture of temples in central Tokyo. You can go inside for free and I recommend you stop by the cafe too if you are visiting the area. They serve lunch, dessert and tea too. #temple #japan #buddhism #tsukiji #tsukijimarket

[Breakfast in Tsukiji Honganji Temple] Every time you pass through Tsukiji, you will see a striking building, that is, Tsukiji Honganji Temple. The present hall was built in 1934, and its appearance mimics the appearance of ancient Indian Buddhist architecture, so it is very different from the Japanese temples that are commonly seen. I came here this morning for nothing else. I want to have breakfast at the cafe in the territory of the Honganji Temple. There are a number of branches in Caf Tsumugi, but the breakfast porridge provided here is limited to this one. It is no wonder that the working day is also queued for the same position, and the number plate is issued, while stocks last. Everyone agrees, the point is "18 food breakfast porridge", the name comes from the 18th wish of Amitabha's forty-eight wishes, designed 16 kinds of side dishes, plus miso soup and porridge, a total of 18 kinds, composed Luxury breakfast lineup. It includes a variety of delicate dishes such as duck meat, yuba, kelp, egg rolls, etc., pick up a small dish, and also have the name of each dish on the pad. Porridge and soup can be added for free. The set menu is also served with hot tea or cold tea. Hot tea is a blend of tea produced in Sanchong County and tea produced in Fukuoka. The cold tea is Kagoshima tea.
