Meiji Shrine

Must TryCentral Tokyo · Shibuya Ward

Meiji Shrine is Tokyo's grandest Shinto shrine, set in a vast man-made forest beside Harajuku and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. Broad gravel paths, towering torii and rows of sake-barrel offerings make the approach feel worlds away from the city. Free to enter; the inner garden charges a small fee.
