Meiji Jingu…

Today we headed to Harajuku to visit the famed Shinto shrine – Meiji Jingu. It is one of Japan’s most popular shrines.

The shrine was completed and dedicated to the Emperor Meiji (the first emperor of modern japan) and the Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the passing of the emperor and six years after the passing of the empress.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
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.

At the middle of the forest, Meiji Jingu’s buildings also have an air of tranquility distinct from the surrounding city.
