A major Shinto shrine located in Harajuku, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Nestled in an artificial forest of over 100,000 trees, it offers a peaceful escape from the city. Visitors enter through towering wooden torii gates and can witness Shinto rituals, traditional weddings, and seasonal exhibitions. The main shrine is elegant and understated, with additional sites like the Treasure House and a beautiful inner garden (paid access).

💴 Price: Free (¥500 for the Inner Garden)
📸 Touristy?: Very touristy, a must-see in Tokyo, yet still calm and serene thanks to its natural setting.
