Zojoji Temple

This temple is 5 minutes from Tokyo Tower and the first sight I saw of it was of a temple monk blessing a..... CAR!! You can drive your car into the temple grounds, pay some yen, and the monk will bless it so even if you are a crappy driver like me...

The temple was built in 1393 and is run by Buddhist Monks. The inside is filled with tons of gold sheeted etchings and decorations, another example of how rich religous sects are. You feel an instant sense of calm..........until some business man who needs spiritual guidance throws a ton of coins into a wooden box so that he can pray to Buddha for help.
