Tokyo Tower and Zengshang Temple are located near Damen Station on JR Line, and the traffic is quite convenient. We arrived at our destination early at 9 o'clock because we were afraid of being late and crowded. At this time, only a dozen sparse people on the way to the Tokyo Tower, the landlord sister told us that everyone will be almost 12 o'clock to go. But it turns out that we were right to go early because we were crowded late. No. Enter. Gate. Speaking of Zengshang Temple, it has a very high position in Japanese temples. The full name is "Sanyuan Mountain Wide Court Zengshang Temple", which is one of the spiritual temples of the Tokugawa family. If you are interested in more information, you can poke "read the original text" and see their official website - "http://www.zojoji.or.jp deep in the temple, is the tomb of General Tokugawa's family, which contains six generals and some relatives, including the second generation of Tokugawa Shogunate (the third son of Tokugawa Jiakang), the sixth generation of Tokugawa Jiaxuan, the seventh generation of Tokugawa's successor. Since I really don't have the habit of shooting everything related to the cemetery, let's make up for it by ourselves. From 11 o'clock onwards, the Spring Festival ceremony began one after another. First, in the temple near the Tokugawa cemetery, the monks began to recite sutras, and everyone gathered outside the door to listen. After that, they entered the temple one after another to pray. The process of praying is to throw a coin into the money box, and then "click" clap twice, close your eyes and pray. It's a short time. It's different from our three knees and nine taps. But sincerity is good.

    Japan has lost this temple, it seems very clean, because its geographical location is relatively special, this temple when I went there were a lot of monks here to read scriptures, cultivate their body, such a scene looks so quiet, so peaceful

    The place where the cherry blossoms, shrines and Tokyo Towers of Japanese elements gather together is in Zengshang Temple. There are large cherry blossom trees in Zengshang Temple near the Tokyo Tower. Every time the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is amazing. It is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in the Tokyo Metropolitan area.

    Zengshang Temple and Kumano Shrine near the Daemun Station are places where you can see the large Tokyo Tower very close, and people rarely take pictures. In fact, Zengshang Temple and Kumano Shrine are in the same place, and Kumano Shrine is at the corner of the entrance of Zengshang Temple. I used to find it very strange why there are often other inari shrines or other small shrines in the temple, obviously different religions! Later, I learned that the Japanese faith in the god Buddha was indistinguishable, so I would see that there was a shrine in the temple. At the Meiji era, the separation order of the god Buddha was issued, but I could not call the shrine to move, so I would use trees or fences to separate each other and pretend not to be in the same place.

    Zengshang Temple is one of seven Daben Mountains in the west of the Japanese Pure Tuzong Town, but originally belonged to the temple of Zhenyanzong, formerly known as Guangming Temple. The first ancestor of Kaishan, the Shangsong of the Emperor, was educated by the seven ancestors of the Emperor of the Holy Temple in 1385 when he was released from Chiba Temple. She was converted to his door by the teachings of the true saying of the Emperor, and inherited the orthodoxy of the Emperor of the Holy Land in December 1393. The purpose of the temple was changed to Jingshizong and the temple was renamed Zengshang Temple. The three-length gate is the oldest building in Tokyo and the largest gate in East Japan. It belongs to the middle gate of Zengshang Temple. With the assistance of Tokugawa Kakamakawa, the main foreman of the Edo Shogunate was hired at the time, and was built in 1622. This gate can be said to be added to the many buildings built by the temple in the early days of Edo, the only remaining buildings left, the "three releases" in the name of the main buildings that were not destroyed during the war, which means that the three poisons "grave, greed, and idiot" can be freed.
