Our Visit to Meiji Jingu Shrine, Harajuku, Tokyo 
July 26, 201.

There are numerous shrines in Tokyo. The most famous one is the Meiji Jingu Shrine. It is the Shinto shrine dedicated to the divine souls of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Emperor Meiji passed away in 1912 and Empress Shoken in 1914. After their demise, people wished to commemorate their virtue and to venerate them forever, and so this shrine was constructed, and their souls were enshrined on November 1, 1920.
