(Translated by Google) Needless to say, it is a shrine that represents Japan. When I went to take a picture, was it closed because I took a detour on the way? Closed? As it got closer, I gave up shooting inside. If you visit too late, you will not be able to enter, so it may depend on the season, but I think it is better to visit before 15:00 at the latest. (Original) 言わずと知れた日本を代表するような神社です。 写真を撮る気満々で行ったら、途中で寄り道をしたせいもあり閉園？閉社？近くなり、内部の撮影を断念しました。 あまり遅くに訪れると入れなくなりますので、季節にもよるのかも知れませんが、遅くとも15時前には、訪れた方がよろしいかと思います。

This Meiji Shrine is a must-see! It's a gorgeous place to visit throughout the year. However, please remember to be respectful when you visit. This shrine is a sacred place of worship that is open to the public. So, while you enjoy the sightseeing, please be mindful that others may be actively praying around you.

Set in the midst of Tokyo's forest lies this serene shrine. Despite the bustling crowds, the atmosphere remains tranquil with pleasant weather. The shrine and its surroundings exude a simple yet stunning beauty. Nestled within the garden, there's a delightful restaurant and café, offering a peaceful escape to savor the beauty around. This is a place not to be overlooked.

First Shrine I visited while I was in Japan in Nov. It was a long walk in till you reach the Shrine. You can throw a coin and make a prayer at the main sanctuary (do note you can't take photos/videos of the main sanctuary where people pray as well as the souvenir stalls.) You can also purchase a hanging tablet at ¥500 & write your wishes or gratitude on it to hang near the tree. There's a divine tree that represents good relations of husband and wife. I happened to witness a wedding procession during my visit there, was eye-opening! On your way out, do try the savory Dango sold at Forest Terrace! It's delicious!

Stunning shrine and park area. It's amazing to walk from the busy streets into this park which really feels like entering the woods. The walkway is extremely broad and impressive, the Tori you walk by/through are enormous. You will also walk by a display of sake and wine barrels. There is also the opportunity to walk to a well for a small entrance fee. The scenery there is beautiful and really worth it. The shrine is really amazing and features impressive camphor trees.

Couldn’t capture its beauty as we came on a cloudy and rainy day. At 9am, the crowd still wasn’t there but are on the way in when we are leaving. Would come again when it’s sunnier but loved the tranquility. There is a whole park around the shrine for you to stroll and the trees are very tall.

Had the pleasure to visit here after early morning rain. The serenity of the forest walkway and the crisp air is indeed spiritual. The trees are all ancient and completely covers the sky over the walkway. The main temple has a few charm shops at around 1k yen each. Might be worth getting your single dog friend a charm to help break the single spell 😉 near the main temple, there’s also a spirit cleansing station where you can wash your hand and rinse mouth. In the main spirit tree, there’s also a wishing station where you may submit your wish with a small donation. There’s smoking area and washroom at the restaurant area. The “gates” are updated every 20 years. So you may see ones that are nice and polished while some bearing the end of life had moss growing on them.

Really enjoyed visiting Meiji Jingu while I was visiting Tokyo. I was fortunate enough to go a little bit after it had rained, so it was much less busy than it typically is. If you can go during less popular hours, it really helps to make this place even more of a serene little getaway within Tokyo. It's a great place for a nice walk, and if you're in Tokyo I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

I like it very much, it's very comfortable. I highly recommend coming here for a walk and experiencing the local culture.

Amazing temple that just has to be experienced to be believed. There are many places here to visit, of course the key attraction is the main temple. This is quite a walk, around 15-20 minutes but quite serene even with all the tourists and extremely accessible even in a wheelchair due to the well designed paths - that only break in a couple of places but are still possible with some effort to pass. As you head towards the temple there are many excursions in the giant gardens that split off the pathways along with various shops, museums. Whilst most things are free inside to do, there is a place to wash your face along with a shop just outside the main temple to purchase good luck/fortune/health amulets. You can also write messages/wishes on wooden boards in the courtyard of the main template. It’s incredible to believe this is right in the middle of busy Tokyo with an extremely busy shopping centre and subway station outside. Once inside it is tranquil and quiet, extremely spiritual. Overall if you want a quieter visit, do visit earlier in the morning. Most people are respectful here but there will of course always be those few tourists that treat this place like Disneyland who we did see during our visit. PS. The security hut can provide complimentary wheelchairs at request if available that are later returned. There is a culture of trust here, so there was no need to leave any id/card which was just great.

A beautiful shrine complex set in a forest/park. It was great to visit, very busy but there is so much space, that it doesn’t seem crowded at all. The stroll to get there is through wide gravel paths through the woods. It is a wonderful shrine to visit and explore and I highly recommend it to you

Friends took us for a visit here. A beautiful walk into the temple… about 10 minutes or so from main gate. Lots of activity going on including wedding photos in traditional dress. If in the area definitely make a stop by. It was also lovely to walk through the park it sits with in.

One of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm visiting Tokyo. A great way to get away from it all, although the number of people and tourists seem to increase every time I come here. The Meiji Jingu is really huge, and more like a park than a temple, with a walk from any entrance requiring at least 10 minutes to get to the temple proper. But that is part of the mystique and beauty of it, with the very large and very old trees offering a covered and serene view, and the Japanese crows calling to each other in the distance or possibly right overhead. Once at the temple, follow the posted instructions to keep quiet and respectful. Also, as taken from JAL's website: "When entering the grounds of a temple, it’s important not to step directly on the threshold of the main gate. Women should enter with their right foot first, while men enter with their left—a practice that only a few people remember." "If you wish to pray in the main hall of the temple, throw a few coins into the offering box. There is no suggested amount or specific lucky coin to consider. There is also no need to clap before you pray. Simply bow at a slight angle (some suggest 45 degrees as the ideal angle), put your hands together, and offer up your prayers. Bow once more when leaving the main hall and also as you exit the temple grounds." A visit is highly recommended, just be respectful when you do.

It is a shrine in the forest in the middle of Tokyo. The atmosphere is shady and the weather is good. People rushing around But everything looked quiet and peaceful. The shrine and surrounding area are beautiful in a simple way. Within the garden, there is a restaurant and cafe. Allowing you to sit and enjoy the peaceful beauty within. It's a place you shouldn't miss.

(Translated by Google) [There is a nice fortune of thick Japanese paper (^^)] The Omikuji here is not a hit, such as Daikichi, and you can get the words you need now! The Omikuji with flowers transferred to thick white Japanese paper is luxurious and very nice! If you read it back when you remember it, it will be a thankful word. The sound of gravel when walking to the precincts has a taste, and it is a valuable place away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Kiyomasa's well, which has been talked about in the past, can be entered for 500 yen, but since there are no plants in winter, it may be recommended to go for a walk in the green season if you pay the entrance fee. (Original) 【厚手の和紙の素敵なおみくじがあります(^^)】 ここのおみくじは大吉などの当たり外れはなく、いまの自分に必要なお言葉をいただけます！ 厚手の白い和紙に花が転写されたおみくじは、高級感がありとても素敵です！ 思い出した時に読み返すと、ありがたい言葉になることでしょう。 境内まで歩く時の砂利の音が風情があり、都会の喧騒と離れられる貴重な場所です。 過去に話題になった、清正の井戸は500円で入場可能ですが、冬場は植物がないので、入場料を払うなら緑が多い季節に行くのが散策にはオススメかもしれません。

A serene and respectful place that no doubt a must when visiting Tokyo! Completely free and it is quite a walk from the entrance but with a nicely paved path and lots of green a long the way, even my summer walk did not feel long! There's a small Purification Etiquette to wash your hands before entering the main shrine, numerous clean restrooms along the way as well as a few restaurants so a small water bottle probably the only thing you need to bring. Also a small counter selling lucky charms that provide you with a meaning for each in Japanese & English. Will definitely come back!

Beautiful and peaceful, typical Japanese temple, surrounded by lots of trees. Not so crowded in late afternoon so you can make some rooms for yourself to find inner peace while traveling

My favourite place on the whole planet, never do I feel as at peace as I do here. Lovely shrine where you might be lucky enough to see a wedding. The grounds are peaceful and great to walk through.

A gorgeous shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. My visit was particularly interesting, as it happened to be raining at the time, which I think further enhanced it's beauty. I approached the shrine through a forested path, leading into the main courtyard, which is quite open and features a stone tile floor. The highlight of my visit was witnessing an entourage of the shrine's priests passing through the courtyard. While it's not permitted to take photos or videos of the priests, just being able to see them was a very exciting experience. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting if you're able to!

(Translated by Google) It is majestic and full of power. The nearest station is only in Harajuku, so it's good to go shopping and eat at Omotesando after worshiping. (Original) 荘厳でパワーに満ち溢れている。最寄り駅が原宿だけに便も良くて、それに参拝後に表参道でショッピングや食事をするのも良いです。

(Translated by Google) I discovered it by chance. I was surprised that it was left as it was at that time. (Original) たまたま通りすがりに発見しました。当時のまま残されているとの事で驚きました。

You can go bueatiful japan... Japanese men they're helfull.. they're friendly

One of the most amazing place to visit in Japan after you have enough dose of high rise and technology oriented visits. Verdant forest like atmosphere, Japanese marvel in gardening, never ending trails, beautiful shrine, some really old trees to keep your senses at seventh level. You will forget you are in the world's most populated city and even a trace of modernization once in. Just opposite to the main gate is Takeshita Dori (Dori=street) where you can indulge into shopping. Shop till you drop place for youngsters and souvenir hunters.

My first visit to Meiji Jingu was in 1956 for the festival Shichi-go-san (七五三) (Japanese festival for 7 & 3 year old girls & 5 year old boys). My father was a Fulbright professor and our family lived in Amanuma/Ogikubo. My brother Michael and I were 4 & 5 years old.

One of the must visit garden + temple in Japan. The area was huge. There's a large gazebo in the middle of the area which basically is a temple. If you're lucky you can see a traditional wedding here. Please be respectful to the people who have a specific occasion in the area (praying, getting married, etc.)

Lovely, serene walk beneath the shade of the trees before you get to the shrine. A relief to get away from the bustle of the city and the lure of shopping. Hear your soul speak to you as you pace through the paths. The grounds and the buildings of the Shrine themselves are also beautiful. Beware of rule about photography, particularly where at the sites where devotees are worshipping. I would say not to be missed when you're in Tokyo.

A must-see when staying in Tokyo!! There's so much to explore and I encourage to soak in all the cultural aspects. In the summer, I suggest getting an early start to beat the heat (and sun) but to also beat the crowds. Especially with the tour groups, it quickly gets crowded. Bring cash with you if you want to purchase a votive tablet or any charms from the shrine. The iris garden, the well, and walking around the shrine grounds in general took about 2 hrs. The shrine is free to visit but the gardens did have a charge - cash only!

This is a really beautiful shrine. I appreciated the story behind it and walking up to it through the forest is so peaceful. There was also an impressive display of painted sake barrels and it was interesting to read about them. There were many people and the day was hot but the trees kept us cool. It's quite a magical place. When I learned that the trees were donated from all over Japan and now it's a natural forest I was really surprised. It's so beautiful and I'm thankful that such an incredible place is right here in Tokyo.

Need a smoking section here. Haha seriously 🤣 No smoking in any part of this entire park. So if you love smoking like me, make sure to smoke 10 cigarettes before you enter. Was a nice place and very clean. At least it's free to enter the Temple Area. Wasn't too impressed though. Don't know why, maybe it was just too simple for the amount of time it took me to walk in here. You can bring some cash to donate. Sorry I didn't. Just tried to pay my respects with a bow and a smile 😃 Some good spots to take pics. There's just so many tourists just like you and I all over this place that everyone else is just in your way. Maybe come earlier (before those dang tourist buses come) for better pics. I just randomly came here when I saw on Google Maps that I was right next to a major park. There's public restrooms and free as well.

This shrine is one of the biggest in Tokyo and covers quite a big area. Different than other similar shrines is the alley with sake barrels on one side of the alley and wine barrels on the other side, great for pictures. We were lucky to be there while a traditional Japanese wedding was taking place at the temple. Access is free so there is no reason not to visit it.

Very quaint and beautiful temple - there’s some fun stuff to do such as buying amulets and 抽签! We’re lucky enough to see a traditional wedding happening in the temple while we’re there, and there’s also a chrysanthemum exhibition for the emperor’s birthday. The surrounding garden is also spacious and beautiful. Worth a visit!

It is a very beautiful, expansive place to stroll, lots of dragonflies flying around the grasses as we walk by. We were lucky to see a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony in the main ceremonial hall or temple/shrine. The whole area has a solemn feeling to it. A must-see place whenever you happen to be in Tokyo.

The park is huge! It’s amazing that you could find such a big park in Tokyo. Visited on the weekday, there were some people but not too crowded. It would be super crowded on the first day of the month or January. I would definitely recommend to save 2-3 hours just chilling in the park. Soaking in the traditional Japanese architecture and temple. I would love to visit again :)

Für mich definitiv ein unerwartetes Highlight. Der Weg ist ein kleines Abenteuer, man wird aber dafür mit einem wunderschönen, entspannten Tempel belohnt. Gerade an einem schönen Sonnentag sehr idyllisch.

Best place. A very holy feeling. Everything is neatly maintained. You need to walk a lot. You have neatly maintained washrooms, hotel and more. Right in the center of city near a big station also adds to its feasibility to visit.

Too crowded around the new year. It is a good place to visit and learn about the Japanese history and culture.

The sacred heart of the Meiji Jingu is of course the actual shrine, a beautiful wooden building complex in which the Meiji Emperor and his wife Empress Shoken are honored. Meiji Shrine is located in a evergreen forest that covers an area of 70 hectares (170 acres), and that consists of 120,000 trees of 365 different species. Two others highlights of the complex are the Otori and the Meiji Jingu Gyoen. The 12-meter-high Otori (the largest Myojin style gate in Japan) is made from a 1,500-year-old cypress from Tendai Mountain in Taiwan. The Meiji Jingu Gyoen, said to have been designed by the emperor himself for his wife, is famous for its "iris river" consisting of 80 to 100 species of irises. In June this garden is at its most beautiful, but also at its busiest.

Beautiful forest temple in the middle of Tokyo. A great place to get some quiet and appreciate nature without leaving the city. The shrine itself is pretty and decently sized, and very historic

A popular Shinto temple in the middle of a forest within Tokyo, a nice and quick stroll to the temple though during the summer the heat can be dangerous. During my visit there was a engagement photoshoot happening as well, so it was a nice additional views to Japanese traditional wedding style. The main gate is massive and visitors can purchase lucky charms for many occasions. There’s one for education, one for career, and even the lucky draw using sticks that you might see in Japanese movies or anime.

This Shinto shrine is located in a huge park with a forested area located right in the middle of Tokyo. The train station is within walking distance along with the shopping district. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main temple.

What an experience! I visited Japan for a holiday and my visit to Meiji Jingu has got to be my favourite day. It is an absolutely stunning place to visit and would would not even know how close you are to the city around you. When you arrive you walk through these beautiful wooden gates, the detail is out of this world. Whilst walking around we were greeted by a group of students who asked to show us around. They wanted to practice there English and it absolutely made our day! I was a similar age to these students as I was a student myself so we were able to shear so much information. The students all told me loads of information about the shrine that I would not have known otherwise. They taught me how to properly wash my hard respectfully and how to prey at the shrine in the correct manner. This is something I would have never done without them as I would never want to seem disrespectful. This really made the day the best experience ever. During our visit we were also lucky enough to witness a wedding at the shrine. This is a rare occasion and not often seen so it was an extremely lucky day. Once way had walked around the whole shrine it leads you back to the city so you can easily carry on with your day. We parted way with the student and it really was a pleasure to meet them all. I would highly recommend a visit here if you are ever in the area, and done be scared to ask or accept help. Everyone is so friendly and will try to help the best they can.

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! You can pray to 明治神宮 for the health of your family, and the taking a walk nearby 表参道 for shopping.

If you are on short stay in Tokyo, the visit to this temple is a must. Easily accessed from Harajuku Station (turn right on the main street and you will see the entrance behind the station), this temple offers a breath of fresh air and wonder in the busy city of Tokyo. You walk through a forest and the magnificent entrance to the temple awaits. If you are lucky, you may see some ceremony or even a traditional japanese wedding. This is a classical spot to come to pray for new years, but be aware of the long line of people or come as early in the morning as you can. There are some museum in the area worth checking out. After exploring the temples, walk up to Aoyama and have a fancy coffee or lunch.

If you are tired of Tokyo’s skyscrapers jungle, this is a nice place to escape. Even under Tokyo’s summer heat, it was cool. However, different with Asakusa Temple, I felt different type of energy over here. Not a positive one indeed (can’t describe it)

Beautiful Shrine and even more beautiful park around it. Highly recommend for a 2-3 hour visit do you will have time to walk around in the park, sit down and habe a Marvell look at the skyscrapers from the distance.

Our first shrine visit in Japan and it was simply amazing. We wanted to avoid the crowds so we got there around 6:30 am. It was so quiet and peaceful, the quite opposite of all the noise in Tokyo. The shrine is beautiful and very well-preserved. We paid our respects and we got our fortune. We also wanted to get a wooden tablet to leave a prayer, however, the store was closed because it was so early in the morning, and there was no information on the website about the opening hours. Overall, a great experience. Totally recommended.

What a beautiful shrine. My second time here, it’s so special. You feel a calm and serenity within the city that you cannot get anywhere else in Tokyo - my personal opinion. Please enjoy the photos and short video.

The Meiji Jingu was great. This is definitely worth trekking to. It's a little bit of a walk from the entrance gates, but nothing strenuous. We participated in the prayer rituals and even bought a number of charms. This is a beautiful place. But try and arrive early before the crowds force their way into your pics. Also, there is plenty to explore here, but because of our time constraints and reservations we weren't able to fully tour Meiji.

It’s a good free activity. The walk there can be long depending on which point you enter. It’s beautiful. The trees create a canopy over the road and provide lots of shade. The shrine itself, you’re not allowed to take pictures. But I took pictures of the surrounding areas. There’s a prayer box where you can write down your prayer. There’s also a station where you can buy charms for good luck, health, and more. When you’re done there’s a terrace where you can get some souvenirs or a bite to eat. Easily can make a 3-4 hour trip out of this.

The Meiji Shrine, located in Yoyogi Park, boasts the largest forested area in Tokyo, with 100,000 trees donated to by people from all over the country and numerous volunteers contributing their efforts to plant trees. I am quite impressed by the fact that Tokyo is a densely populated city with efficiently designed, minimalistic living spaces, yet it doesn't skimp on communal amenities like parks and green areas. I was happy with my last day in Japan with a leisurely, tranquil stroll in this refreshing forest.

Beautiful shrine in the middle of a city, but you’d never know it. It’s surrounded by essentially a forest. Large gravel roads with lots of maps lead you to the centre where the shrine is. Free to enter and we saw a gentleman striking a gong which happened at 2pm which was very cool to see.

It is a shrine located in a dense forest in the city center. It may be okay if you want to stroll through nature in the city center, but if you want to see the shrine, it is not a very good choice. If you want something to see, you'd better go to other Shrines. There are so many tourists that the role of a tourist destination is emerging rather than a religious facility. Of course, it can be said that this is not a shrine commonly visited by ordinary people, but rather a place with great historical symbolism.

Love this shrine with its tranquil gardens and trails. We witnessed a Shinto wedding while we were there and it was an interesting experience. There is a cafe/restaurant inside and the food is pretty good! Definitely worth a visit to the inner gardens too.

One of the most important Shinto shrine situated in huge park,great place for some rest in big chaotic city.

One of the few expansive places in the center of Tokyo with a large park/lawn. A majestic shrine which is a great place to spot traditional wedding ceremonies.

very nice temple. the place is not far from the Harajuku station you only have to walk 5-10 minutes to get to this temple.

I went there to see autumn leaves but i guess it was kinda early. So I'm planning to go next month also. Nice and calm place. Recommend for people who like to walk and a nice place to experience the religious side of Japan also.

💚

(Translated by Google) I already liked it, I mistreated a few people with spinning kicks earlier. Joshua recommended was not there, but was really fat, would do it again (Original) Hat mir schon gefallen, hab da vorhin paar Leute mit Drehkicks misshandelt Joshua hat empfohlen war zwar net dabei, war aber echt fett, würd des nochmal machen

(Translated by Google) Go for a walk and worship. No matter how many times you come, you will be overwhelmed by the majestic air. There is a lot of greenery even in winter, and just walking in the trees makes you feel refreshed. It was the first visit to Corona. The Chozuya is temporarily built. The premises of the main shrine have not changed significantly. I am grateful that there is such a comfortable and sacred place in Tokyo. (Original) お散歩がてら参拝へ。 何度来ても、荘厳な空気に圧倒されます。 冬場でも緑が多く、木々の中を歩くだけでも清々しい気分になります。 コロナ禍初の参拝でした。 手水所は仮設されています。 本殿敷地内は大きく変わった様子はありません。 こんなに心地良く神聖ば場所が都内にあることに感謝です。

(Translated by Google) A little late first visit. I went to the neighborhood of my house for three days, so I went to Meiji Jingu near my office. I haven't visited in a long time, but it's a place where you can wash your heart with abundant nature, which you can't think of in the middle of the city. (Original) 少し遅めの初詣。 家の近所には三ヶ日に行ったので、会社の近くの明治神宮にもと。 すごく久しぶりに参拝しましたが、都心のど真ん中とは思えない、自然が豊かな心が洗われる場所です。

(Translated by Google) I went there when the worshipers pulled out, hoping for the health of myself and my family. On the contrary, it was about 7,000 steps, which was quite a lot of exercise for me now. The air is cool and refreshing, and I think it's the best of the best power spots. (Original) 自身や家族の健康を願い、参拝客が引いた頃合にいきました。いってかえって約7000歩、結構な歩数で今の私にはなかなかの運動量でした。空気もいい感じの冷気でリフレッシュ、最高オブ最高のパワースポットだと思います

(Translated by Google) The second place in Japan that made me feel uncomfortable when I received the red stamp. (The first place is Kasuga Taisha. There is nothing else) It's a story before Corona, so it's a busy story, but even though everyone is quietly lined up, I just use a loudspeaker to pay attention to the slight disturbance of the line and open the place to write and wait. (It will be a silent air. I can not believe the height of the review based on that air) Do you think that worshipers are not very popular? Even companies that demand work efficiency will not be able to do this with high pressure even for their own employees. I originally came here without feeling so I wrote it without hesitation. (Original) 御朱印を頂くにあたり、不快な思いをした全国二位。 （一位は春日大社。っていうか他はない） コロナ前の話なので混み合っている中の話ですが、皆黙って大人しく並んでるのにひたすら拡声器で僅かな列の乱れの注意や書くところを開いて待て等ああしろこうしろの指示を。 （黙る空気になるよ。あの空気を踏まえレビューの高さが信じられない） 参拝客は余程民度が低いとお思いなのでしょうかね？ 作業効率を求める企業さんでも、自身の社員にすら今どきなかなかこうも高圧的には出来ないでしょう。 私は元々こちらに思い入れなく来ましたので遠慮なく書きました。

(Translated by Google) Sometimes I go for a walk. The beginning of the year also serves as a first visit. You can walk at your own pace with a wide road in a place full of nature that you can't think of in the middle of the city. I've been to places like paid walking routes, but I wonder if that's okay. On TV etc., there are only images of crowded images, but even in January it is a very good place when you want to be healed and relaxed at all if you shift the time a little. (Original) 時々散歩に出かけます。年始は初詣を兼ねて。 都会の真ん中とは思えない自然いっぱいの場所で道幅も広くゆっくりマイペースに歩けます。 有料の散策ルートのようなところにも行ったことがありますが、あれはもういいかな。 TVなどでは混んでいるイメージの映像ばかり出ていますが１月でも少し時期をずらせば全然ゆったりしているし癒されたいときにとても良い場所です。

Traditional architecture. Beautiful. I could see that it’s definitely not built for profits but from pure religious belief. The temple is so famous and is one of the MUST visit while you visit Tokyo. during our visit in Autumn there was not much crowd,mostly locals with their beautiful traditional customs. the Shrine is surrounded by lots of Forest so highly recommend for a morning walk. It has Meiji museum. Entry fee is 1000 yen. It has historical importance in Japan.

One of my recommended places to visit if you wanted to experience nature , solemn atmosphere and meditation. From Shibuya Station, take the JR train to Harajuku and follow the signs to West exit

(Translated by Google) Lin Shen doesn't know where he will return (Original) 林深不知处，何时人归来

(Translated by Google) It is a famous power spot in Tokyo near Harajuku station. There are three entrances, Yoyogi Exit, Sangubashi Exit, and Harajuku Exit. Easy to access for most people I think many people worship from the Harajuku exit. Surrounded by abundant nature that makes you forget you are in the big city. If it is spacious, you can feel plenty of negative ions.

(Translated by Google) The large wooden torii was impressive. The display shelf of the consecrated sake dull is also a masterpiece. I took a picture of my favorite sake. There was also a display shelf for wine barrels across the street. In the precincts, there are a lot of scenery that I think would be nice for wedding photography. Large passages, torii gates, and wide precincts. It felt like a small human being was in the way of the space for God. (Original) 大きな木製の鳥居は感動的でした。奉献されたお酒の酒ダルの陳列棚も圧巻。好きな銘酒に写真を撮りました。向かいにはワイン樽の陳列棚もありました。 境内は、結婚式の写真撮りに素敵だろうなと思える風景がちらほら。大きな通路や鳥居、広い境内。神様のための空間に、小さな人間がお邪魔させて頂いてるような感覚でした。

Peaceful place. A beautiful garden attached, where you can see azaleas and lillies, depending on the season. With a bit of luck you can witness a traditional Japanese wedding.

This is sacred spot in Tokyo. Especially, if you visit early in the morning, the air is very clean and setteled. :))

A Shinto shrine located near Shibuya that is definitely worth visiting. When I went in early summer they had an assortment of bonsai trees on display. It's free to enter and walk around the surrounding Shrine and garden. You should also check out Yoyogi park when you visit. There were lots of people on the weekend enjoying drinks and having a picnic.

Beautiful and scenic walkway with spectacular ice sculptures on both sides leading to the Meji Jingu.

Such a beautiful place in the midst of Tokyo. Shady, quiet and calm. Trees always greenish event in autumn. Enter to free. Sake and winery panel are good for photography. The shrine is located in the deepest where you can pray and make merit. Too many tourists. You must take a time to explore this place.

Amazing place, nothing else to say. Is this kind of places that blow my mind, you find a very peaceful site in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. Must to visit.

An infamous Temple and garden in the middle of Tokyo, Japan. It is a 5 Min walk from Harajuku station. It is beautiful in any season due to their wide variety of trees and meticulous grounds maintenance. It is extremely accessible and free. Consider for a visit whether you live here or visiting.

Beautiful place, perfect for forest bathing. I went on a Sunday and there were several Shinto wedding processions- that's a must see. Bear in mind that there are places that do not allow for photos.

It’s definitely not your typical shrine in terms of size. However, and due to its location near Harajuku and being actually in Shibuya, even if it can get tiring exploring the whole complex, there are many people who come, foreigners and locals alike. I’ve come here for a total of 3 times in the last 8 years and the volume of people seem to be almost the same, whether it’s winter or spring. There are many parts of the shrine that’s either paid, or freely accessible but you cannot take photos of. Also, you’d definitely wait to take turns to pray at the main shrine, or get your stamp, or buy your food, or use the toilet…you get the picture.

One of the most peaceful and meaningful places in Tokyo, despite the hustle and bustle of devotees and visitors alike. A shrine of prayer for peace and prosperity, enshrined to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Always feel calm and content here.

Meiji Jingu was a big shrine in the middle of the forest which had a beautiful walkway running up to it. I really enjoyed walking around the shrine and seeing all the gates and the main shrine itself. You are able to get your fortune and there was somewhere to get a drink and some food. A beautiful shrine in a serene location - definitely worth visiting in Tokyo!

Probably one of the places you have to visit as a tourist. I first saw this place in 2008, during New year eve. And was memorable experience. I’ve visited many times! And always wanted to capture the weddings. The walk there is through some wooded areas, with a nice relaxing vibe. It has other points of interest- cafe, garden, etc.

The big one! This is a large complex of shrines, gates, memorials and other features set inside a forest which was specifically planted for it. Allow an hour for the central Shrine. Allow half a day to walk around and see it all. We were lucky to catch a Shinto wedding in progress. Car park, toilets, cafe, shop all present and correct.

This shrine was stunning and very peaceful. The area has a museum and gardens that can also be visited. These have to be paid for, though the shrine is free. Inside the shrine are two trees, known as the husband and wife trees. They are huge and quite wonderful. Photos are not allowed of the actual shrine or the amulet selling areas, but you can take pictures in the courtyard. The area of the shrine is large, and there is only one disability accessible toilet near the Sake display. It is a distance away from the actual shrine, so do not leave things too late. The path is gravel in areas, so it can be difficult for manual wheelchairs or for people with walking disabilities. It is possible to hire wheelchairs but there is a long walk to the hiring area. The actual shrine and the museum are accessible. The gardens are not accessible as there are steps throughout.

About 12 minutes of beautiful walk as you pace through the gravel path going into the temple. There are two trees inside the shrine, known as the husband and wife representing Emperor Meiji and his wife. The place is very quite and peaceful, a relief to get away from the bustle of the city.

Stunning shrine with awesome gates out front and a glorious park to stroll through. If you’re like me and get overwhelmed by shopping or crowds, this is a great place to come to unwind, reflect, meditate and explore in a quiet area. The shrine was not busy when we went and the shrine and it’s surrounding parks are huge so people get spread out easily. They have a free stamp station you can add to your collection, remember to put in a small donation when you use it. They also have an interesting wall of sake and whiskey barrels that was very thought-provoking and visually stunning

Very big park with greenery. Good option for a walk and chill. It is located at the heart of Tokyo. However, do expect to walk as there is some distance from the train station. It was very crowded during golden week. However, you won't feel uncomfortable as the park and space were spacious. No entrance fee required

Rich history and culture at this shrine. Very very popular tourist spot, so expect tons of people in your pictures or video. Still didn’t feel overcrowded where I couldn’t get around. It’s no wonder why it’s one of the top spots to see while in Tokyo. It’s a 10 minute walk through the park to get to the actual shrine, but worth crossing off the bucket list! Pictures shown are from a visit on a Sunday.

I recommend coming at 5 am when the gates are just opening to feel serenity and peace at this site dedicated to Emperor Meiji. The shrine is well-kept and there is hardly anyone here at the crack of dawn. Feel the immersive silence. Also, for my runners, running is not allowed on the premises. I saw guards stop a man who tried to continue his run at the gate.

Must see beautiful shrine and easy to get to. Peaceful walk through a tree lined path to get to the temple. Great place to escape from the crowded city and experience Japan’s culture and history. Visited in March.

Location : City area Transportation: Easy to go from Metro, Metro station just opp the entrance of the park Clean: Tidy and clean Atmosphere: historical sites / Shine, worth to Pay a visit when you’re in Tokyo city. Very convenient to go, relaxing park. Knowing more history of this place.

Popular for good reason. Inner city shrine in a forest! Normally have to travel to country side areas to see places like these. Particularly lovely and shade in the summer.

What a gorgeous shrine with a great hiking experience. Definitely visit the cave at the western end if you are in the area and have the time. The escalator and the cave experience ticket is well worth it.

I went there and was praying for Thai community and my family 🙏🏻😊💞🌷 feeling so blessed, there was a giant tree and so holy sacred atmosphere, so recommended for overseas people to experience this peaceful and great shrine. You can pray for business to success, pray for love ones, pray for families and pray for the countries. I’ll be back again for sure. Such a amazing place to come.

Absolutely beautiful shrine. Got in 40 minutes before the entrance closed in the late afternoon. The path from the entrance to the shrine itself is breath-taking. The place gives off a peaceful vibe with all the surrounding tall trees. A shrine worth visiting for people visiting Tokyo.

A min walk to from Harajuku train station to the main gate. Nice and peaceful walk up there main shrine. cooling weather (Nov) in the forested area. There are many split trails to explore if you like the nature

Went on the new year day, crowd was massive but was expected. Place is nice for a morning stroll. Did not manage to get in to the main shrine due to the massive crowd that was there for the prayers. Would suggest to go on an off peak period.

My New Year visit to Tokyo's Meiji Jingu was a serene and enriching experience. The shrine's atmosphere, amidst the lush and expansive forest, offered a peaceful retreat. As a historical site, it held a profound sense of tradition and culture. The friendly English guide enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the shrine's significance. Nearby, excellent restaurants provided a delightful dining experience. Meiji Jingu is a must-visit for its spiritual ambiance and cultural richness.

I am extremely happy to visit this people. In fact I loved the place.

We went to meiji shrine on a rainy day but it was still really beautiful and packed with tourists. The old architecture was so impressive and the atmosphere was so peaceful! I liked the idea of writing down your wishes and thoughts on the souvenirs. I recommend this place!

Very beautiful and historic place dedicated to the emperor Meiji.

It's just awesome. So glad able to visited this place

Absolutely beautiful location, went twice over the Christmas Break. Once during the day and was able to soak everything up, then again on New Years Eve and was super busy but still seriously enjoyable.

外国人まみれでサイコー！！！

荘厳な佇まいで、心が落ち着きました。本殿から小田急線参宮橋駅方面への道がお勧めです(写真を添付)。

参道は緑豊かで夏でも街中よりはすずしいです。駐車場もそこそこ大きいのがあります。車の入り口は北参道側からしか入れないように変わったみたいです。

“都会のオアシス” と言ったら失礼か？ 威厳がある場所です。 原宿駅方面から入り、代々木駅へ向かうのがいつものコースです。程よく風が通り木陰に入ると涼しい。 代々木駅方面の鳥居⛩から都庁が••• 大都会への出口です。

Sublime ! Mon coup de cœur à Tokyo ?

最高の場所です。真夏でも、明治神宮に行くと、涼しいです。神聖な場所。

最強級パワースポット!

大都会の中の癒しの森 からパワーをもらえます。心もスッキリします。

Good nice walk in open green spaces. Temples are nice too. Could be full of visitors but because of the number of different trails it doesn't feel crowded

Nice Park fir leisure walking

It is a great place to visit. You can spend an hour or two here. It is surrounded by the area like Forest. It has Meiji museum. Entry fee is 1000 yen. It has historical importance in Japan.

早朝の明治神宮。こちらの杜は、日本中から人々が集まって植樹した人工林なんです。もちろん、日本中から様々な木々を集めてあります。そして、100年以上の歴史を積み重ねてあります。まさに、日本の原生林！日本の森そのもの。特に、朝イチは空気も凛としていて、清々しさを身体中で感じることが出来ます。 そして、その清々しさの中を歩いていくと辿り着くのが本殿です。本殿にも巨木が。何とも言えない荘厳さがあって、迫力と力強さ、優しさも感じることができる場所です。 神社独特の凛とする空気感。可能であれば、朝早く出掛けることをオススメします。そして、ゆっくり森林浴も楽しんでください。

大きな変革の時代に天皇・皇后になられ、多くの人々により、人工的とは思えない森に祀られております。すぐ横に山手線が走っていたり、新宿が見えたりするのですが、ゆったりとした時間を過ごせます。あ

They've added some "Forest Art". Made us walk all over and finally discover some new paths.

I love the outdoors so this was amazing. We went to see the art exhibit but we couldn't find all of the pieces, but it was great anyway. The walk was nice even in the heat and seeing the good fortune well for just ¥500 was beautiful. Just make sure to get a delicious ice cream cone and some charms on your way out. There was also a beautiful open grassy space that we relaxed in and they had vending machines nearby, just make sure to bring a blanket. This place is usually more crowded but COVID has brought the numbers down which made the walk nice. Either way I recommend it as just something to do on a slow day or a place to see during travels.

The grounds of Meiji Jingu or the Shrine of Emperor Meiji are huge, including a large central lawn and a forest reserve as well as the actual shrine itself. Our older son married his wife in 2015 at the Meiji Shrine, which is open to the public to reserve a date for the ceremony and wedding dinner right on the grounds.

Really looking forward to go there when the new year rituals are over, to experience the pure bliss and peace!

Beautiful Shrine commemorating Emperor Meiji which was the main push towards a more advanced and technological Japan as opposed to the samurai inspired and barbaric ways they used to lead. The shrine is beautiful but what makes it really special is the vast amount of woods surrounding it! There are multiple entrances and exits but the most common one is very close to Harajuku station

One of the most special places in Tokyo. Located literally in the center of the city, right near Omotesando Ave. The contrast from the busy streets just 5 minutes walking distance is simply incredible. Enter this forest island of tradition, history and greenery and you won’t be disappointed. Definitely has to be on your Tokyo to-do list.

(Translated by Google) I went to Hatsumode on the previous New Year. I walked out of the ticket gate, which can only be used during the New Year period at Harajuku Station.

However, it was so crowded that I couldn't take a leisurely tour, so it's also a place I want to visit again when I'm calm. (Original) 以前のお正月に初詣に行きました。原宿駅のお正月の期間しか降りられない改札口から出て、歩いていきました。人がものすごく混雑していて、長時間並んだことを覚えています。場所と建物はとても良いと思います。ただ、混雑していてゆっくりと見学できなかったので、落ち着いた頃にまた行きたい場所でもあります。

(Translated by Google) Meiji Jingu is a shrine that enshrines Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. There are three entrances (Harajuku Exit, Yoyogi Exit, and Sangubashi Exit), but I think it's best to go to the main shrine from the Harajuku Exit, which is right next to Harajuku Station, through the south approach. The shrine covers an area of ​​73 hectares (the size of about 15 Tokyo Domes), and is covered with an artificial forest made up of about 100,000 trees donated from all over the country. Going to a wooded area will help you stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and refresh yourself. As a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, the red stamp was supported by a paper red stamp on the book and a new red stamp book (as of February 2021). (Original) 明治神宮は明治天皇と昭憲皇太后をお祀りする神社です。 入口は3か所（原宿口、代々木口、参宮橋口）ありますが、原宿駅からすぐの原宿口から南参道を通って本殿に行くのがよいかと思います。神社は73ヘクタール（東京ドーム約15個分の広さ）の広さがあり、全国から献木された約10万本の木で造成された人口林が広がっています。木々が多いエリアに行くと、都会の喧騒から離れることができ、リフレッシュすることができます。 新型コロナウイルス対策のため、御朱印については、書置きの紙朱印と新規の御朱印帳での対応となっていました（2021年2月時点）。

(Translated by Google) I didn't know it until now, but I was surprised when I learned that it was a shrine where the emperor was enshrined. The site is large and it is a good amount of exercise just to walk around. I have been worshiping so that the world can regain its composure as soon as possible. It's not as lively as it used to be, but on the contrary, I like the calm atmosphere. (Original) 今まで知らなかったのですが、天皇が祀られている神社だと知った時は驚きでした。 敷地は広く、歩き回るだけでも結構な運動量です。 早く世の中が落ち着きを取り戻しますようにと参拝してきました。 以前ほどの活気はありませんが、逆にこれぐらいの落ち着いた雰囲気の方がらしくて私は好きですね。

(Original) 明治神宮御苑には、清正井が目的でしたが、花が咲き乱れる季節にぜひ訪れたい場所となりました。思いがけず昭憲皇太后のご休息所『隔雲亭』を観ることもでき、生前の昭憲皇太后のお人柄にふれ合えたように感じました。

Beautiful temple! A very walkable area. We weren't able to explore as much as we would have liked to, as a traditional wedding was taking place at the time. It was so cool to see the wedding traditions in action and we were really excited to witness it! Note: Visited prior to Covid, so things may be a little different.

The temple is so famous and is one of the MUST visit every new year day. I went there one time on the 1st day of year. There're thousands of people got in line with us to enter the main place for praying on the New Year day. Lately, there were event on the day I visited (November 23). So many great products from other provinces offer to the temple.

One of the most popular shrine in Japan. Uplifting, traditional shrine with it’s unique beauty, spacious walkway and pockets of shady areas. Very convenient with nearby Harajuku station. When we visited this tranquil place, we were lucky to have a chance to see a Japanese traditional wedding taking place. Needless to say, Japan is well known for it’s cleanliness and meticulous traits.

that's so nice. such a peace place in the centre of the city. I can feel the long history from it.

If you go early in the morning then the crowds aren't as big. Great sight seeing place to go to. Make sure you get there early in the morning though cause it gets packed.

Meiji Jingu is the most famous shrine in Tokyo, Japan. It was established in 1920 by the people who donated 100,000 trees from all over Japan and overseas. Now the shrine is covered by a big forest, and you can feel spirits in here. I write 8 interesting things you should know before visiting. CHECK 1 - Enshrined deities are souls of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who passed away in 1912 and 1914. At that time, the Emperor was just like God for Japanese people. Meiji Jingu is a relatively new shrine. CHECK 2 - The precinct's temperature of the shrine is 3 degree Celsius below compared to the outside metro area in Tokyo in summer because it is covered by a big forest. The forest is artificial and created by donated trees. The forest has 245 species of trees, which is unusual for a forest.  CHECK 3 - The number of visitors to the shrine is about 3,500,000 per year, and 1,200,000 people of them are foreign visitors. Wow, 1 of 3 people are from overseas! (Not this year, though...) CHECK 4 - after a while you walk in the shrine, you can see Sake (rice wine) barrels and grape wine barrels donated. At normal shrines, you do not see grape wine barrels even though Sake is a sacred drink in Japan. In the Meiji period, Japan finally opened the door overseas and started to learn Western cultures. Emperor Meiji also tried western style attire and hair. Especially he loved grape wine, and it is said that he passed away due to diabetes.  CHECK 5 - Because the center of the approach is for the divine spirits' passage, try to walk on the left side of the approach to the main hall. CHECK 6 - The corner of the approach to the mail hall is not 90 degree, but 88 degree angle because 8 is lucky number in Japan when we write in Chinese character, the shape of 8 is auspicious. CHECK 7 - The second shrine gateway of Meiji Jingu is the biggest wooden gateway in Japan. The material wood used is Japanese cypress, 1,500 year old and brought from Taiwan. You can still smell the scent of wood especially in a rainy day. CHECK 8 - The heart shape ♥ you can find of shrine's structure is not heart, it is actually the eyes of wild boars. They do not like fires, and their eyes can protect wooden shrines from fires... not sure if they are really heart shape?? But try to find hearts in the shrine! On the auspicious calendar day, especially on the weekend, you might be able to see a wedding march in Japanese style. The couples are sooo beautiful. Congratulate them and get happy air :) If you wish to find the right person for marriage or wish your happy life with your partner, pray for these couple camphor trees. These trees are in front of the main hall.　Please visit Meiji Jungu Shrine after COVID, and I wish you good luck!

Meiji Jingu is dedicated to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken who have become 'gods'. You can really tell that this shrine is special by the way it is surrounded by a forest with many towering trees. Meiji Jingu is always worth a visit every time I am in Tokyo. If you happen to be there during the last two weeks of December, you will see the shrine selling Hamaya or 'demon-breaking arrow'. It is a beautiful piece of Japanese culture that I had to have.

Definitely a must visit for tourists. If you're heading to Shibuya, this shrine is conveniently located right in the middle of the city so it's worth stopping by to check out. While there are many shrines in Tokyo, this one is much busier due to its location. Its juxtaposition to Yoyogi Park and Harajuku makes this quite an interesting tourist attraction and the further in you go the more you realize just how massive the site is. Meiji Shrine has one of the biggest Torii gates, so don't forget to take your selfie here. There is a specific area in the shrine where you can write your hopes and wishes on a piece of paper to hang up and a separate area for which you can provide simple offerings as well. Unlike Sensoji, which is arguably the most popular shrine here, you'll find solace in the peacefulness of the woods and the absence of incessant gift shops and stores begging for you to purchase souvenirs.

Este es unos de los sitios de interés obligatorios de Tokio. Esta situada justo en medio entre Shibuya y Shinjuku, así que si te organizas bien y dependiendo de tu itinerario puedes conocer varios sitios de interés en un solo día.

He estado allí un hace un año y medio y me ha encantado, recomendable visitar si se está en Tokio, imprescindible. Santuario sionista rodeado de jardín.

(Translated by Google) The spacious precincts are an oasis that makes you forget about the city. Every time I visit, my heart is washed. I draw the fortune by myself and get the bill from the drawer, but it was equipped with alcohol disinfectant. I was relieved that the water was flowing from the bamboo instead of the cassotte. (Original) 広々とした境内は、都会を忘れさせてくれるオアシスです。 訪れるたびに心が洗われます。 おみくじは自分で引き、引き出しからお札をいただきますが、アルコール消毒液が備えられていました。お手水もひしゃくではなく、竹から水が流れている方式になっていて安心でした。

(Translated by Google) A landmark that represents Japan. The magnificent site where 160,000 trees of 365 species inhabit 54 Tokyo Domes and the mysterious atmosphere created by the wide and well-arranged approach are exceptional.

Absolute must visit if you are in Tokyo. Beautiful walk to the shrine and the architecture is stunning!

An interesting relic and monument. Passing by here, i was surprised to see an old rail crossing. This is what I love about Tokyo. The little tidbits of historical information creeps on you without you knowing.

(Translated by Google) A level crossing alarm that stands quietly along the road of Shiodome. Soon after I felt that I was in such a place, at the foot of the alarm, there was a bill with "the only level crossing left in the Ginza area". If you look at the back of the alarm at the back of the road, you will see a slightly thin road that runs to the back of the brand new Belsalle Shiodome Building. The condition of the gentle curve reminds you of the track trace somehow. Were freight lines passing in the old days? It's a shamelessly small remains, but if you look around it, it will be a place that is a bit trickier to the abandoned wire. (Original) 汐留の道路脇にひっそりと立つ踏切の警報機。何でこんな所に・・と感じる間もなく、警報機の足下に、「銀座地区に残された唯一の踏切」との立て札があった。 道路背に警報機の奥に目をやると、真新しいベルサール汐留ビルの横を奥に続くやや細い道路が目に入る。緩やかなカーブの具合が何となく線路跡を思わせる。昔は貨物線が通っていたのだろうか？呆気ないほど小さな遺構だが、周辺も含めて観れば、廃線マニヤにはちょっと心くすぐる場所だろう。

(Translated by Google) Where did you go? I think. I am moved to find it on the way! (Original) どこに続いていたの？ と思う。 通りがかりに見つけて感動！

A true oasis in the heart of the world's biggest city, Tokyo. Meiji Jingu is an historic 100 year old Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife empress Shōken. The shrine is located in a forest covering 170 acres and is unique among any large city the world over. What you immediately notice upon entering and stepping under and beyond the monumental tori gate is the sense of calm and quiet that descends, despite being surrounded by the bustling Tokyo streets and shops. It really does have to be experienced in person. Aside from the shrine there is a lot to discover including a koi pond and several other shrines. From here you can then visit the adjoining Yoyogi Park.

Large green parks in the midst of metropolises are a fantastic thing as they also allow city dwellers to see and savor the greenery of nature. Meiji park is an excellent example, well-kept and very large, perfect for walking or doing other physical activities, but also just to lie down and rest in the middle of the green

loved the tranquility in the middle of the city. The small lucky charms (Omamoris) are 800 yen each.

Went back in October 2019, booked the free walking tour with Tokyo Localized. Our guide was Sarah. She was great. This is a great way to get a sense of Tokyo's history and the etiquette of entering a shrine. I highly recommend taking the walking tour or going on your own.

The outer鳥居 is under renovation, but great surprise to have the green route next to it. There's also a dining area, both proper and food stalls (eg grilled mochi as shown)

A lovely temple. One of the most famous in Tokyo. Whenever you go here it will be busy so prepare for it to be a little crowded. It is well worth it.

Meiji Shrine is one of Tokyo's most impressive shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the spirits of the first emperor of modern Japan, Emperor Meiji, passed away in 1912, and his wife, Empress Shoken, passed away in 1914. Meiji shrine designed by Chuta Ito, this huge place of 175 acres is s a popular place near the shopping district of Shibuya, a beautiful big garden with a lake and lushes garden, excellent eating places, a souvenir shop, and a stunning display of Saki Barrels. Open daily and free of charge, except a small fee for visit Meiji Jingu Garden, and Meiji Jingu Museum.

Very beautiful place, it really is like a forest in the middle of Tokyo. When you pass the big wooden tori gate, it feels like you are being transported somewhere else. The shrine itself also feels special.

It was a very scenic walk into the shrine - you can really feel at peace and zen here, with the occasionally ruffling sounds of the trees along the path. That’s a train station right outside the shrine so it’s pretty convenient to get to as well! I recommend adding this to your bucket list if you’re ever coming to Japan!

There were lovely, wide and greenery-surrounded paths to visit the shrine for the late Japanese emperor Meiji. It was fascinating to learn more the history of this relatively new shrine (opened in 1920 I believe) and witness the culture traditions here. The structure in the photo is apparently the largest of its kind in Japan; quite impressive.

An amazing shrine in the middle of Tokyo. The place feels unbelievable. It’s huge and so quiet. Loads of tours but still pretty good. It’s a 15 minute walk from the train station.
