Meiji Shrine

The Meiji Shrine was built in 1920 and was dedicated to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. This was my favorite place that I visited in Tokyo. The park was beautiful and the shrine was so peaceful! If you're going to visit (which I strongly encourage!) I recommend reading up on the proper etiquette for the shrine before you go so you can be respectful of the space. It made the visit more meaningful for me too!



You wash your hands and mouth before entering.
