The Meiji Jingu Shrine was established in 1920 along with Yoyogi Park, a forest created from the hard work of the people of Japan and generous donations of more than 100,000 trees. Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the celestial souls of Emperor Meiji and his partner Empress Shoken. Shinto is Japan’s original ancient religion, and is deeply grounded in Japanese culture. Visitors can enter the shrine complex via the torii gate to experience the tranquil silence of the forest, which lies in stark contrast to the bustling city. Visitors will also see the Meiji Jingu Treasure House, displaying the Emperor and Empress’s personal belongings, and the inner garden, a powerful spiritual vortex.
