This Buddhist temple, though not as famous as Senso-ji, holds its own quiet charm and history. The temple is dedicated to Kannon, the Bodhisattva of compassion. Jōganji may not have a grand five-story pagoda, but its presence offers a peaceful respite. It’s a place for quiet contemplation. It’s a place to connect with a different side of Tokyo.
