Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji, set in a 700,000 sqm forest next to Yoyogi Park. Walk through the towering torii gate and along gravel paths — feels like a forest hike in the middle of the city. Japan's most visited shrine during New Year's hatsumode.
Tips
- 1-minute walk from Harajuku Station. Easy to combine with Takeshita-dori shopping.
- Prayer etiquette: two bows, two claps, one bow. Toss a coin in the offering box first.
- On weekends you might see traditional Japanese wedding ceremonies held inside the shrine.
