Zojoji Keikoden Front Gate, Main entrance gate to Zojoji Buddhist temple in Minato City, Tokyo, Japan.
This large concrete gate replaced the original wooden structure destroyed during World War II while maintaining the traditional Japanese architectural appearance and cultural significance.
Originally constructed in 1611 and reconstructed in 1622, this historic gate known as Sangedatsumon was registered as a Japanese cultural property on March 26, 1915.
The name Sangedatsumon represents liberation from the three Buddhist poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, embodying the spiritual aspirations associated with the temple's religious practice.
Zojoji Temple remains open to visitors free of charge from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and is located at 4-chōme-7-35 Shibakōen, Minato City, Tokyo.
Starting in 2024, this gate will undergo a decade-long renovation project that will make it unavailable for viewing throughout the entire restoration period.
