  • Enter through the Harajuku gate and walk along a wide path through a peaceful forest toward the main shrine. Along the way, you’ll pass through giant torii gates, see sake barrel displays, visit the purification fountain, and experience the calm of nature in the heart of Tokyo.
  • Along the path, you’ll pass through one of Japan’s largest wooden torii gates—made from ancient cypress brought all the way from Taiwan. Its size, history, and quiet power leave a strong impression.
  • Meiji Shrine Imperial Garden
    Inside the shrine grounds, there is a quiet garden once loved by the Emperor and Empress. You can stroll through seasonal flowers, see the famous iris field in early summer, and visit Kiyomasa’s Well, a peaceful spring known as a spiritual power spot.
  • Meiji Jingu Shrine
    At the main shrine, you can offer a prayer, draw a unique type of omikuji, write your wish on an ema (wooden plaque), and explore a variety of omamori (charms). Many visitors say they feel a special kind of energy in this sacred space.
  • At the end of the visit, there is a cafe and a gift shop near the shrine grounds. The shop offers charms, traditional goods, and Meiji Jingu–exclusive items. The cafe provides light meals and drinks in a quiet forest setting.
