Meiji Jingu

A beautiful sight of Japanese traditional art and culture. Right outside is the famous Harajuku area, so it makes for an interesting two-sided experience.

Huge place but a very serene and peaceful place amidst the bustling Tokyo traffic. Good place to relax and indulge in the Japanese architecture.

My visit to Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, near its closing time at around 5 pm, was a memorable experience. I was accompanied by a friend, and we were relieved that we arrived in time to explore this remarkable place. The walk leading up to the shrine was enchanting, with lush green fields and an abundance of trees, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a jungle. The natural beauty surrounding us was truly breathtaking, and it felt like a serene escape from the bustling city.Upon reaching the shrine, I was immediately struck by its magnificence. The wooden buildings exuded a sense of rich history and culture, transporting me to a different time. Even though our visit was short-lived due to the closing time at 5:20 pm, I cherished every moment spent there.In those brief moments, I truly appreciated the beauty and serenity of Meiji Jingu, and it left a lasting impression on me. I would recommend this cultural gem to anyone visiting Tokyo, even if you have limited time to explore it fully.

Entering the shrine, there are three gravel paved Visiting ramps in the south, north and west, and it will rustle when stepping on it, which is not easy to walk. At the entrance of each gindao, there is a landmark of the Japanese shrine, the ostrich house, where you will likely see new people holding traditional weddings, because Meiji shrine is a popular wedding venue.

Meiji Shrine is a shrine in Shibuya District, Tokyo, Japan. It is located in the center of Tokyo, covering an area of 70 hectares, close to Shinjuku business district, occupying the entire area between Shidaimu and Harajuku. It is the largest green space in downtown Tokyo. Nice view
