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

#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.

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.

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.
