Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple lost a lawsuit arguing that the city government shouldn’t have approved construction of a skyscraper by Mitsubishi Estate Co.
Judge Yutaka Kawakami of the Tokyo District Court today dismissed the case opposing a 37-story apartment block in the capital’s Asakusa district about 400 meters west of Sensoji temple without giving reasons.
