About
In Tokyo, the sacred spaces blend seamlessly into the urban landscape, offering moments of reflection amid the city's fast pace. At the heart of this exploration is the tranquil Meiji Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, surrounded by a forest that feels worlds apart from the nearby Harajuku district. Visitors often participate in rituals such as purification at the temizuya, where they cleanse their hands before approaching the shrine's main hall.
