About
Fakta singkat: Suasana hutan yang tenang menyambut pengunjung saat mereka melangkah melalui gerbang kayu besar, suara daun dan aroma pinus membuat hiruk-pikuk kota terasa jauh. Antrean panjang pada periode Tahun Baru dan lautan orang yang datang untuk berdoa jadi pengalaman khas, sementara deretan tong-tong sake besar yang dipajang selalu menarik perhatian pengunjung.
Sorotan: Bayangkan melangkah lewat lorong yang dikelilingi hutan hasil penanaman lebih dari 100.000 pohon dari 365 spesies yang dikirim dari seluruh Jepang, kamu akan mencium aroma pinus, humus basah, dan mendengar desir daun yang menenangkan. Di awal tahun lebih dari 3 juta orang datang untuk hatsumode, dan di halaman berdiri ratusan tong sake serta tong anggur berdekorasi yang memperlihatkan nama pabrik dan chateau, jadi sambil berjalan kamu bisa memerhatikan label-label Bordeaux berdampingan dengan nama-nama pembuat sake Jepang.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, paths are gravel and can be uneven after rain.
- Enter via the Omotesando or Kita-sando gates to avoid the busiest Harajuku entrance on weekends.
- Photograph the massive torii near Harajuku Station and the straight tree-lined approach for iconic shots.
- Arrive before 9:30 on weekdays to dodge tour buses and catch morning rituals with fewer people.

4.0Visited at 2pm and it was packed, paths were crowded and photos were tough. Free entry is nice but the souvenir shops felt overpriced, the quiet back paths saved the visit.
Arrived at 8am and had almost no line. The shrine grounds are free and the 500 yen Inner Garden was worth it for the peace and cherry blossoms; avoid noon crowds.
