Situated in Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s liveliest districts, Meiji Jingu Tokyo provides a much-needed respite from the city’s noise. With its rich history, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning architecture, it’s no surprise that it ranks as one of the top tourist places in Tokyo and among the best places to visit in Tokyo. Our Japan tour packages now include this iconic shrine as a must-see destination, allowing travelers to experience the perfect blend of traditional spirituality and urban exploration.
After they died in 1912 and 1914 respectively, the Japanese people expressed their desire to commemorate their legacy. The result was the creation of Meiji Jingu, constructed with generous public donations. The forest surrounding the shrine is a labor of love, with over 100,000 trees sent from across Japan and even overseas. Today, this man-made forest has matured into a thriving, peaceful retreat.
During World War II, the shrine was tragically destroyed. However, it was rebuilt in 1958 through the efforts of the Japanese people, showcasing their dedication to preserving this cultural treasure. Visitors today can appreciate this monument not only for its spiritual significance but also for the profound story of unity and resilience that it represents.
