This is Zojo-ji Temple at Shibakouen in Tokyo Japan.
Zojoji Temple (増上寺, Zōjōji) is the head temple of the Jodo sect of Japanese Buddhism in the Kanto Region. Standing next to Tokyo Tower, the temple grounds consist of some impressive structures as well as a mausoleum of the Tokugawa family and a small museum.
Most of Zojoji’s current buildings are recent reconstructions except for the main entrance gate, the Sangedatsumon, which has survived many fires, earthquakes and wars and dates from 1622.

@Hiroto_Tokyo Very nice photos with great description. Which member of Tokugawa clan is lying here? I am curious to know, how to differentiate Shinto Shrine and Buddhist Temple from outside just by seeing? Thanks.
＞how to differentiate Shinto Shrine and Buddhist Temple from outside just by seeing?
If you find a Torii , that is Shrine.
A torii is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred.
