Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Overview
A Shinto shrine to Emperor Meiji set in 70 hectares of planted forest beside Harajuku, and the forest is the point: a ten-minute walk under enormous torii gates before you reach the halls, which are post-war rebuilds. The grounds are free and open from sunrise to sunset. The Inner Garden costs extra and earns it only in mid-June, when the irises are out.
The Meiji Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deities of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, and is a beautiful remainder of tradition. Tourists may write their wishes and tie them to the columns like the locals do, and on Sunday mornings, a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony can be witnessed in the temple. Many Japanese festivals can be witnessed at the shrine all year round.
