  • Meiji Jingu Shrine
    Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine located in the heart of Tokyo, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who played a central role in the modernization of Japan in the late 19th century. The shrine, completed in 1920, is surrounded by a vast man-made forest with over 100,000 trees donated from across Japan and overseas. Visitors often come here to experience its peaceful atmosphere, walk through the majestic torii gates, and learn about traditional Shinto rituals. Today, Meiji Jingu is not only a spiritual center but also one of the most popular cultural landmarks in Tokyo, attracting millions of visitors each year.
