Beautiful Meiji Shrine in Japan
Meiji Shrine is a large and famous shrine in Tokyo, Japan.
The Japanese style of architectures here are very magnificent.
There is a gate at the entrance of the shrine. It was made of woods and very huge. It is the symbol of this place that many people love to take a lot of photos with.
It is believed that, entering this gate, you will start walking in sacred area.
There are other gates that are smaller.....
The below is the bridge in front of the shrine....
You will find many big sake barrels laid out beautifully.
It’s another popular point that most people love to take photos with.
Before entering the building of the shrine, you have to clean your hands and your mouth with the water here.
I like the way they plant a lot of green trees around the area. Those trees are really big and high.
These create very nice atmosphere indeed. It is called, Meiji Jingu’s forest.
It's unbelievable that this place is situated in the center of Tokyo....
I think, this place is worth for a visit….
That is amazing that such a peaceful, restful and forested place is right in the middle of the city. It would be very fun to visit. I live all that tile work on the bridge, amazing. And the sake barrels. I wonder what their significance is? Or just a cool thing to view. Thanks for sharing another place I have not seen, but would love to one day. Have a nice restofthe weekend.

Thanks so much for your nice comment. Ah! It would be very fun to visit this place, I absolutely agree with you.
Regarding the sake barrels, as far as I know, they are the ones that people donated to the shrine for sacred ceremony. There are many of them, so the barrels that you saw are for decorating.....
I would love to visit this place one day, too.
Have a wonderful day or night, GFF. ;)
I visited Today many time but I’ve not been Meji shrine before 😆
Ah! I do really hope that you can visit this place next time..... Ha ha!
You are very lucky to live in Japan which is really beautiful country.
