The historic Zojoji Temple, which is just a short walk from Tokyo Tower, will be the location for this year's photographic exhibition, Tokyo Photo 2013.

According to The Japan Times:

Japan’s first international photography fair, Tokyo Photo, strengthens its hold on the photography scene in Asia with its fifth yearly installment from Sept. 27 to 30 at a new location at the Zojoji Temple in the downtown area of the city. 

The move to the storied temple for Tokyo Photo 2013, making the event a more unusual and memorable cultural experience, is hoped to appeal to a wider audience. The now-customary wide range of high-profile exhibiting galleries and agencies, this year numbering around 30, come from the long-established key cultural centers of New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Berlin as well as relatively new photography hotspots such as Beijing and Amsterdam.

I visited the Zojoji Temple back in 2001. I found it to be a very peaceful and scenic spot in the middle of the Tokyo megalopolis.
