I believe many Hong Kong 🇭🇰 people will have been to Japan 🇯🇵
However if those who have not been there may inevitably not know how to plan
Because there are too many attractions 🫶🏻
If it is the first time to go to Tokyo and the time is not long
I think it's focused on playing in the city first😌
Traffic will be relatively easy to handle first!!️
And in the city do not have to worry about visiting the monuments wo
Because in the core of Tokyo there is Meiji Jingu Shrine🤭🤭
The Meiji Jingu Shrine, which covers an area of 700,000 square meters, has a huge grassland😌
It can be said to be an oasis in Tokyo 😍 can make urbanites temporarily slow down 👣 good to relax
And most importantly, Meiji Jingu Shrine is in an excellent location☺️☺️
It is no problem to arrange to go during Shibuya and Shinjuku shopping trips
The Meiji Jingu Shrine located on the edge of Harajuku Juice Whether you are visiting the street after walking through Takeshita or walking and then going to the Omotesando walk, there is no problem 👍🏻
If you get off at Harajuku Station you can go through the South Exit of Nansando
However it takes 11 more minutes to walk to the main hall
However, at the entrance you can already see the torii ⛩️ and the green trees ❤️❤️
Naturally, it is the most popular tourist route for tourists 🫶🏻
But actually the closest distance is to get off at Sangubashi Station and then via the west exit
It only takes about 9 minutes to get to the main hall
So you can check your itinerary or how to go
The chief deities of Meiji Jingu Shrine are Emperor Meiji and Empress
The large grassland that guards the shrine inside is not actually there at the beginning!! ️ but the shrine was built with the plan to become a natural forest after 100 years
And by 2020 it will be 100 years 😊😊
The torii ⛩️ located at the intersection of Namsan-do and Hok-san-do is very large 😗
It is arguably the most famous symbol of Meiji Jingu Shrine
But the most incredible thing is that this torii ⛩️ is already built from a 1,500-year-old sacred tree 😌 But the source of the wood 🪵 is even Taiwan not Japan 🗾 native 👍🏻👍🏻
It is certainly the most popular photo 📸️ spot at Meiji Jingu Shrine
And in Japan🇯🇵 shrines are quite common to see Japanese sake barrels
But carefully look inside the Meiji Jingu in addition to a row of Japanese wine barrels actually also have foreign wine barrels!! ️!!️
It is said that it is because Emperor Meiji actually loved ❤️ foreign wine 😍
And in order to obtain the favor of Emperor Meiji so the shrine has used foreign wine sacrifices 😗😗
So this scene of ocean and Japanese style coexisting 😝 I think it's only here
However, the most important thing to the shrine!!️ is actually the main temple😉
The road to Meiji Jingu Main Hall is not as straight as other shrines
And there is an 88 degree turning point 🤔🤔
Some people say that indicates this because "8" in Japan actually represents a lucky 👍🏻 number
So when designing to adopt such an angle 🫣
If you look carefully👀 you will find that there are many special carvings😳
For example, the chrysanthemum coat of arms is actually a symbol of the Japanese royal family🫅
However, avoid repeating with the royal sixteen chrysanthemums 😊 so the wooden door of the main hall only has twelve chrysanthemums!!️
Another carving of the wooden door is the five-santong 𣐀 similar to the one used by the Japanese government but not exactly the same
Make a distinction to show respect 😉
And there are actually many kinds of Meiji Jingu guardian 😌
But the most special thing is the wooden bell guard made of fallen wood 🪵 ❤️❤️
So of course generally other shrines will have the lucky love guardian and so he will have as well
And it will also be a popular model 👍🏻👍🏻 Even Japanese 🇯🇵 people will buy it 👀👀
If you are really interested in the shrine⛩️
I believe it's okay to stay there for most of the day😌
However, if time is limited, it is best to follow the main road to visit the main hall 😗
