199905-06 ZOJO-JI TEMPLE Behind the Tokyo Tower is this former funerary temple of the Tokugawas. It has had a calamitous history, even by Tokyo's standards, having rebuilt three times in recent history, most recently in 1974. The main gates date from 1605 and are included among the nation's 'Important Cultural Properties'.
