What other travelers are saying about Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingū)
I went early, 9am, to beat the crowds. By the time I exited the inner garden around 1030, the place was absolutely packed! Truly worth the time to explore all the hidden corners, allow 2 - 3 hours! The well is worth the extra walk, truly a magical little spot, good for a quiet prayer or reflection. One of the highlights of my stay in Tokyo.
Definitely one of my favourite places to visit in Tokyo! Meiji Jingu is a rare jam tucked away in a peaceful forest area. The beautiful ancient architecture and ambience will give you a sense of calm and zen. I especially love that you can make wishes and prayers there! One of the things I enjoyed most is the walk through the forest to the shrine. Don’t forget to purchase the charms there that make great souvenirs / gifts!
Stunning shrine to visit. Situated within a lush garden/forest.
Amazing place to walk around and spend some time. Also get to experience the Japanese culture.
Lots of tourist will be here, recommend coming early.
A must visit shrine in the middle of Tokyo full of Japanese culture and history. Took us about 2-3 hours to explore the entire shrine. The park has wide paths and so many different trees. Truly a beautiful park to walk through.
Meiji Jingu is a serene Shinto shrine nestled in a lush forested park in Tokyo, offering a peaceful escape from the city's hustle. We visited early in the morning to avoid the crowds, and it was an incredibly tranquil experience. The park is beautifully maintained, with wide paths and towering trees creating a calming atmosphere, making it one of the best parks in Tokyo for a relaxing stroll. The shrine itself is impressive, and while the amulet store only opens at 9:00 a.m., the early visit allowed us to fully enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
