@skyxarchive: From the busy streets of Harajuku to one of Tokyo’s most peaceful spots 🌿⛩️ 📍 Meiji Jingu(明治神宮) 📍 Harajuku / Yoyogi, Tokyo Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. It was established in 1920 and is surrounded by a huge forest right in the middle of Tokyo. One of the coolest things is that the forest isn’t ancient. Around 100,000 donated trees were planted when the shrine was created, with the goal of developing a forest that could sustain itself over time. 🌿 Huge forested shrine grounds ⛩️ Free to enter 🚶 Around 10+ minutes from the entrance to the main shrine buildings 🚉 Right by Harajuku / Meiji-jingumae Station It’s such an easy stop to add before or after shopping around Harajuku and Omotesando. Save this for your Tokyo itinerary 📌🇯🇵 #MeijiJingu #明治神宮 #Harajuku #原宿 #TokyoShrine
