In the heart of Tokyo, you can feel the deep forest and serene sacredness at Meiji Jingu

📍 Meiji Jingu

In the bustling center of Harajuku, Tokyo,
the moment you pass through the crowd and enter the dense forest path,
time begins to slow down.
⠀
Meiji Jingu is not just a tourist spot,
but a true ‘place of rest’ in Tokyo
where nature, tradition, and tranquility harmoniously coexist.
⠀
From the massive torii gate at the entrance,
to the green forest path stretching on both sides,
and standing quietly in front of the serene main shrine,
anyone will pause silently to catch their breath.
⠀
The ‘temizuya’ water basin for washing hands before worship,
the ‘ema’ wooden plaques for writing wishes,
and the occasional traditional wedding ceremony—
moments filled with Japanese traditional culture and beauty
quietly seep into your heart and remain there.
