Things to do in Shibuya | Tokyo | Japan

The Meiji Jingu is the most famous and popular Shinto shrine in Japan. It is dedicated to the spirits of the beloved Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. The shrine complex is surrounded by a 70-hectare sacred forest . Once you walk past the grand Torii gate at the entrance, you will find a total sanctuary in the middle of the megacity.

Meiji Jingu is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Tokyo.

Traveler Notes

Meiji Jingu Shrine

Meiji Jingu has multiple entrances so plan ahead according to where you come from and plan to go after. We took the JR Yamanote Metro Line to Harajuku stop and entered through the giant wooden gate of the south entrance and exited through the north entrance to go visit Shinjuku Gyoen afterwards. Entrance to Meiji Jingu was free.

There is a long walk through a man-made forest to get to the main shrine and you will come across a small side entrance to Meiji Jingu Gyoen, where you can visit the Inner Garden, the South Pond, and a bunch of other sites. This part is not free but the 500 yen (~$5) entrance fee was reasonable. This paid area has two entrances too, one to the south (close to the south gate) and one to the north (close to the main shrine).

Visited Meiji Shrine in Shibuya. The place was so huge and so serene. This Shino Shrine is dedicated to the defied spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife.

When you walk for a whole day, and tiredness is felt, strange things start to do ... like hugging the Tori! 😂⛩
