Itinerary

1. Meiji Jingu Ichino Torii
The tour begins in front of the Ichino Torii (first shrine gate) of Meiji Shrine! This location is very accessible, being near Harajuku station, the birthplace of Japanese subculture and “kawaii” culture. Now, let's depart on a tour of Meiji Jingu Shrine, where you can experience nature and culture.
Duration: 10 mins
2. Meiji Jingu Shrine
Meiji Jingu Shrine, located in the heart of Tokyo near the bustling Shinjuku, offers a peaceful escape into nature. Surrounded by a 700,000-square-meter forest, the shrine is a serene oasis where sunlight filters through the trees and birds sing. At its center, Emperor Meiji, who led Japan's modernization, is enshrined. The shrine is not only a place of faith but also a space for relaxation and reflection amidst the city’s vibrancy.
Duration: 70 mins
3. Meiji Shrine Imperial Garden
If you visit Meiji Jingu Shrine, in addition to the main shrine, don’t miss the hidden "Shinen" garden—a quiet retreat that once served as a private space for the Emperor and Empress. Despite its beauty, it remains off the beaten path for many tourists. With a professional guide, you can explore the shrine and its surrounding nature in a deeper way, uncovering the rich spirituality and culture of Japan.
Duration: 40 mins
4. Meiji Jingu Ichino Torii
The tour will break up at the Ichino Torii gate of Meiji Jingu Shrine, the same place as the meeting point. After the tour, you may go sightseeing in Harajuku or take the Yamanote Line to another location.
