Passing through fashionable Harajuku and then entering the forest of Meiji Jinju Shrine, you will be amazed by the comfortable coolness and silence with each step. The giant trees surrounding the approach to the shrine are part of an artificial forest called “Eien-no-Mori,” or eternal forest, built on a place which used to be fields. The ancestors of the Japanese current generation worshiped nature. The forest created in metropolitan Tokyo is now a popular sightseeing spot by people from all over the world.
Meiji Jingu Garden was established on the grounds of Meiji Jingu Shrine in 1920. It was the garden of daimyo in the Edo period, later becoming property of the Imperial Household following the Meiji Restoration. Beautiful iris’s bloom in the rainy season. (Admission fee ¥500 )
