Meiji Jingu is a great little reprieve from the city life. It's convenient location makes it one of the top places to see in Tokyo. I definitely give it the thumbs up.
The thing that makes this place so cool is that it can be reached directly by getting off at the Harajuku stop, which I'm saving for another blog in itself.
Meiji Jingu can get a bit touristy but not to worry there is plenty of space to wonder and see many different things. My top two recommendations are the Meiji Jingu Gardens, which
will be incredible in the Spring time especially during the Cherry Blossoms, and Meiji Jingu Shrine.
Below is a shot of the Gardens during the dead of winter.
Meiji Jingu shrine is a massively complex shrine which almost looks like Asakusa just way scaled down without the whole mile long shopping district. In fact I really can't even make a comparison between the two. The only thing I can say in Meiji Jingu Shrine is like a small traditional city once inside - check out this clip!
Oh! Be careful with which angle you take pictures of the main structure at. It is considered rude to take a shot of the Shrine head on, not to mention it it prohibited. You can take pictures of it but it must be on an angle!
