Our trip to the Meiji Shrine was an interesting experience. The shrine is a fine example of Japanese shrine architecture. It's also nestled in a peaceful, picturesque area of Tokyo city. It makes you forget that you are in the middle of a big bustling city. It's definitely rich in historical interest and scenic beauty. We will return to the shrine when we visit Japan again in 2006.

I like this place very much in Tokyo. From reading guide book,I went there by myself on my last day of my first trip in Tokyo. I found there very peaceful and uniquely. I made a wish to go back to Japan again. Now my wish comes true,i will visit Japan again next month, I promise myself to give a highly respect to the shrine again and it will be the ...

I was very impressed with this place. I went there once recently, and it was a great experience.

Meiji Shrine - Worth an hour of your time. Definitely check it out.

If you're going to Tokyo to check out the shrines and temples, you're in the wrong city. But, if you're already there Meiji-jingu is worth checking out. The walk to the shrine is a nice wide path through the woods that takes you under a couple of large torii.

The shrine itself is a fairly recent reconstruction of the original and hardly compares to the buildings you will see if you travel to Kyoto or Kamakura.

This is a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place and a great way to escape from the crowds of the city. And nearby Harajuku is a great place to look at - it has its own quaint and distinctive culture, quite unlike the rest of the city.

The Meiji shrine gives a person in Tokyo someewhat a breather from the large buildings and the hussle and bussle. It is however crowded with many people. However the shrine remains clean and is free.

This place is wonderfull, so calm in the middle of Tokyo, I used to hang out there every saturday morning during my 3 months stay in Tokyo.... I loved it... if you feel lonely, just go there and feel the power of calm and thoughts...
