[Meiji Shrine] In the heart of the city, a forest that cleanses your soul

In the heart of the city, a forest that cleanses your soul🌿⛩️

Just a short walk from Harajuku Station.
Even though it was so crowded, the moment you pass through the torii gate,
it feels as if the world has completely changed.

In the deep forest, the only sounds are the wind rustling the leaves
and the footsteps on the gravel path.
Surrounded by nature, your heart quietly unwinds—
such a mysterious place, that is Meiji Shrine.

✨A silence that makes you forget you’re in the city
✨Look up at the sky, and light spills through the gaps in the trees
✨People quietly put their hands together, wishing for love fulfillment and heartfelt desires

And another recommendation is the Meiji Shrine Inner Garden🌸
In June, about 1,500 irises bloom in full glory, like a purple carpet.
In autumn, golden sunlight filters through the trees, like a scene from a movie.

📷 Taking photos is nice, but please put away your smartphone
and fully savor this air, these sounds, and scents.

“When I was tired of something, or felt gloomy for no reason,
just walking here made me feel like I could face forward a little.”
