Next to the Tsukuji Fish Market, walking towards Ginza, there is a temple which I had seen many times, but had not gone inside to check it out. From the outside the Tsukiji Honganji Temple has an Indian feel; and indeed, according to the information I collected at the temple, the distinctly Hindu architecture designed by Chuta Ito was modeled based on ancient Indian architecture. Even on a weekday you can see many office goers stop by at the temple to pray or meditate. If you like architecture I definitely recommend a visit to this temple so rich in atmosphere.
