Meiji Shrine is Tokyo's most important Shinto shrine, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and set within a vast, forested park of 100,000 donated trees, an astonishing pocket of calm beside busy Harajuku. The walk under the giant wooden torii gates to the main hall is the highlight, and you may catch a traditional wedding procession. Entry to the grounds is free; the inner garden and treasure museum charge a small fee.
