Meiji Shrine

Apie

Greiti faktai: Over 3 million people visit every year to walk through a massive wooden torii gate made from 1,500-year-old cypress trees. The shrine is surrounded by a forest of 100,000 trees donated from all over Japan, creating an urban green space that feels like stepping into a different world.

Akcentai: Visitors can participate in a traditional ritual of writing wishes on wooden plaques called ema, which are then left hanging around the shrine, creating a colorful tapestry of hopes and dreams. A rare sight is the serene koi pond reflecting the shrine’s classic Japanese architecture, offering a peaceful moment amidst the bustling city.
