Jingū Bashi (Shrine Bridge)

Stepping stone to the sacred, Jingū Bashi is the iconic stone bridge that links the ultra-modern streets of Harajuku to the forested sanctuary of Meiji Shrine. Guarded by majestic, lantern-topped stone pillars, it serves as a fascinating physical transition between Tokyo's high-energy youth culture and its deep-rooted spiritual traditions. While no longer the bustling cosplay hub of the 1990s, it remains a fantastic spot for people-watching and taking in the contrast of the city.
