Overview
Meiji Jingu is a shrine that was built to commemorate the Japanese Meiji emperor. The shrine was completed in 1920, but was later destroyed by the Tokyo air raids. The shrine that stands today was built in 1958, but its beauty captures an era long past. The shrine is a must see for anyone visiting Tokyo, and before 1946 the shrine was considered first rank of the government sponsored shrines.

As we do you will hear the history and culture surrounding the shrine, and see the magnificent replicas of the original buildings.
