Meiji Jingu

Meiji Jingu is Tokyo's grandest Shinto shrine, dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. What makes it spectacular is its location: a dense, tranquil 170-acre forest of over 100,000 trees donated from across Japan, offering an instant escape from the Shibuya bustle. Expect a peaceful walk under massive wooden torii gates, towering wine barrels on display, and the chance to witness a traditional Shinto wedding procession.
