Meiji Jingu

1-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo MAP

Hatsumode, the first shrine visit of the year, has great symbolic value in Japan, and the most visited shrine is, by far, Meiji Jingu in Tokyo.
Meiji Jingu, where the emperor is enshrined, shrouded in a grove made from 100000 trees donated from all around Japan, this sacred place is known as an urban oasis.
At the turn of the year, the shrine stays open through the night. Visitors often pray for world peace, the safety of loved ones, love encounters, and successful studies. ＊The opening hours might be subject to change.
