Yoyogi Park + Meiji Shrine









The Meiji Shrine is the largest Shinto shrine in Tokyo and is situated inside Yoyogi Park. The park is enormous and even though you can always hear the city around you and are never fooled about your location it's still refreshing after walking Shibuya all morning. The shrine is dedicated to the emperor who reigned during Japan's period of modernization (1868-1912). It's solemn, beautiful and would have been quiet if it wasn't for the constant cawing of the crows.
