🌿 Just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Harajuku,
you encounter a space within a quiet and lush forest path,
the Meiji Jingu Museum.
⠀
The exterior is a refined architecture (designed by Kengo Kuma)
that modernly reinterprets traditional Japanese beauty,
offering a serene impression at first sight.
⠀
Once inside,
artifacts of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken,
historical heritage, and artworks are calmly displayed,
allowing you to read with your eyes and feel with your heart.
⠀
Visiting on a rainy day makes this forest gem even more beautiful.
This quiet museum was a ‘rest’ itself,
a moment to pause all noise and face oneself.
