NHK World Japan Dive in Tokyo "Tokyo Tower and its Neighborhood"

Translated from Japanese by
Under the theme of "Tokyo Tower and its Neighborhood," this program introduces the current state of Tokyo Tower, which continues to be a landmark in Tokyo, and traces the history of why Tokyo Tower was built in this part of Tokyo.
Built in 1393, Zojoji Temple is also the Bodhi Temple of the Tokugawa family. The site of the construction of Tokyo Tower was originally the site of Zojoji Temple, and the nearest station, Onarimon, was also the gate of Zojoji Temple.
Learn about the history of this place through Zojoji Temple, which has been spun in this area for more than 600 years. At the same time, while unraveling the history of the neighborhood centered on Tokyo Tower and experiencing the charm of the city, you will meet various people who love this city.
