I love the lush greens in Meiji Jingu（明治神宮）
Barrels of Japanese sake donated to the shrine.
You’re supposed to cleanse yourself before you enter the shrine.
Wash your hands & mouth with the water ~
Meiji Jingu is quite a popular spot for traditional Japanese weddings.
Traditional Japanese wedding ceremony are called “Jinzen shiki” (神前式） in Japanese.
Oops. blurry photo. I’m so bad in taking portraits.

Oh I would love to go there (it looks so green!)
And it must be so amazing to be able to see a traditional wedding.
It’s really a lovely place :) & I think traditional weddings are being held almost everyday in Shrines.
i haven’t been to Meiji Shrine yet although I’ve been to Tokyo twice! I’ll try to make plan and go there this time :)
If you’re planning to go to Harajuku, you might wanna check out Meiji Shrine coz’ it’s just 5 minutes walk from Harajuku station :)
Meiji Shrine is definitely high on my list of places to visit once I’m able to get over to Japan! Your photos are great!
