About All Events How To Get There

Meiji Jingu Shrine is a Shinto Shrine located in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The Shrine was established in 1920 to commemorate Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who created the foundations of modernized Japan.

The forest that surrounds the Shrine is a man-made forest, with 100,000 trees donated from all over Japan.

The aim of the forest was for it to be a self-regenerating natural forest, which was planned by forestry experts looking ahead to the next 100 years.

Most of the shrine complex was burnt down during the air raids of World War II in 1945, however the forest survived and the Shrine was restored to its original grandeur in 1958.
