Meiji Jingu Shrine
Religious spot
Meiji Jingu Shrine is a Shinto shrine in the heart of Tokyo, dedicated to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. The shrine is close to Harajuku Station, and it's a great spot to take a break from the busy city. When you walk through the big Torii gate, you'll enter a beautiful forest with tall trees that make you feel like you're in another world. At Meiji Jingu, you can wander around the pretty shrine grounds and visit the main shrine. People often come here to make offerings or write their wishes on wooden plaques called ema. Nearby, there's the Meiji Jingu Museum, where you can see cool artifacts and learn about the emperor, empress, and modern Japan. Don't forget to check out the Iris Garden, which is a lovely place for a walk, especially in June when the flowers are blooming. With its amazing history and spiritual feeling, the Meiji Jingu Shrine is a place you definitely want to visit if you're curious about Japanese culture. So, grab your camera, bring some friends, and experience Japan like never before!

The ticket buying process is simple and easy to use, just use the QR barcode to enter the venue. I chose the entry time at 14:40, and after walking around and taking pictures, you can also see the sunset view, great!

I’ve stayed at APA Asakusa for a few days and used the subway frequently, the 72-hour Tokyo Subway Ticket is an excellent option. It’s affordable, easy to use, and provides convenience, making it perfect for a tourist-focused itinerary like me.

It is recommended to order early so you don’t have to worry about running out of tickets! If you order too late, there are not many time tickets to choose from! It is indeed a popular attraction and there are a lot of people!

How can you not eat wagyu beef when you come to Japan? This is my second time here and I still highly recommend this place. There are many cuts to choose from. You can tell the waiter not to order the appetizer (which is ridiculous) hahaha. The texture of the oil cuts through your mouth. The wagyu beef is really delicious. You can taste various parts in this shop~~
