We were just in Tokyo visiting. And we went to the Meiji shrine on New Year's Eve. Before midnight, somehow (I won't say how exactly we did it), we were able to follow a small group (VIPs?) of about 40 well-dressed people, who came out of a small building (a small temple?) on the side not too far from the Meiji shrine. They were escorted ...

It would be a great place to go visit after a day in Harajuku. It is located in a nice peaceful park. It is a nice place to visit if you are in the area, but It is not something that I would go to far out of my way to see. This is just one of many shrines to visit in the Tokyo area.

It is very quiet there, and peace full.
I especally love the the cherry blosms!
And when I get the time, I am so going back!!
The food was good, I loved the shrines, gardens, and how they speak. It was an amasing experience!!!

i loved it and stuffy and what not it was fun and stuff i love stuff i stuffy taste good there were to many people for me

Peace and quiet in the middle of Tokyo.

I loved the Meiji Shrine because it was the 1st of many I visited. It's relatively young shrine compared to the others but it is beautiful and wonderfully peaceful. I highly recommend it. It's a stone throw away from the Harajuku Eki!

If you want a hands-on experience of Japanese culture and religion - this is the place to do it. You can take part in the cleansing ritual and even participate in the traditional prayer. You'll see beautiful landscape and many Japanese women and girls in traditional kimono dress. You may even stumble upon a wedding!

This is a great break from thy high-tech,flashy attractions of Tokyo. Extremely peacful and when you've had enough tranquility great shopping is around the corner. Absolutley spectacular.
