Meiji Shrine in Tokyo
Meiji Shrine in Tokyo
Metro: Harajyuku
One of the few places you’ll see green space and feel at peace in Tokyo is at the Meiji Shrine.
The shrine is situated in the heart of a large park and is open to visitors.
The Shinto Meiji Shrine was built to honor the souls of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shoken, who died in the early 20th century.
The original shrine was destroyed in WWII, and the current one was built in the late 1950′s.
