About
快速信息: 林间空气带着木香和湿土的清新，穿过高大的鸟居就像从喧闹都市瞬间步入一处静谧的绿洲。传统婚礼、祭典与现代潮流常在此处交织，和服新人、鼓声与祈福纸符一起营造出既庄重又生活化的氛围。
亮点: 你走进一片由约100,000棵、365种树木构成的林带，脚下的砂利发出咯吱的声音，空气里飘着雪松和湿土的清香，整个人会不知不觉安静下来。每逢元旦三日间有约300万人来这里初詣，还有排成一列的酒樽与葡萄酒桶作供献，木牌上写满手写愿望，看起来像是时间偷偷留住的邀请函。
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.
