EasyTicket Meiji Jingu Shrine
📍 Japan Tokyo 하라주쿠·요요기
Meiji Jingu is close to Harajuku Station, but once you pass the entrance, the forested approach is what you notice first. The broad worship path and the quiet air around the shrine make a clear contrast with busy Harajuku and Omotesando.
If you only pay your respects and leave, it can be a quick visit, but paired with Yoyogi Park or Harajuku shopping, it becomes a breather in a half-day itinerary. Opening hours may change by season, so it's safer to check the official guidance before visiting.

Useful tips
- Stop by before shopping in Harajuku, and the forest path will be less crowded and the route will flow more naturally.
- After rain, the shrine approach can be slippery, so comfortable walking shoes are best.
- When planning a Harajuku day, the simpler route is to use the official guidance's one-minute walk from Harajuku Station as your starting point: walk the shrine forest path first, then continue to Omotesando or Yoyogi Park.
Frequently asked questions
How much time should I allow if I also want to walk the wooded paths inside the shrine?
Tokyo's official tourism site describes Meiji Jingu Shrine as set in a vast forest between Shinjuku and Shibuya, with visitors following the path to the main shrine. Give yourself enough time depending on whether you're only paying your respects or walking on to Yoyogi Park.
