Meiji jinju shrine in Japan 🇯🇵

Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city. The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a relaxing stroll.

It’s free entrance and everyone entering must be respectful to the architecture and forest. You’ll need between 1-3 hours to visit. Inside there are places to worship or you can purchase a poem written by the emperor. It was a lovely stroll and I’d definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Tokyo. #urbanexplorer #forest #shrine #japan #tripblazers #hikingtrails
