Thanks Aya - this was a beautiful video and so peaceful! I have been to Meiji Jingu many times but never visited the garden - I realised I need to visit again after watching your video - thank you. Even the cake was beautiful!
Thanks Nick! To tell you the truth, I myself didn’t know about the hidden heart-shaped objects although I’ve been there so many times🤣 Enjoy your next visit to the Meiji Shrine AND the cake!!
Obviously the park grounds (this is Yoyogi Park?) are very beautiful. I gather that you have to walk a very long distance from Harajuku Station before you reach the shrine? Would it take about an hour? Also, do visitors get to see inside the buildings or can they only see the outside structure? Aya, I appreciate your help. Thanks, Ron
Meiji Shrine is essentially within Yoyogi Park, which you don’t mention. Takeshita Dori, the shopping street you reference, does not take you to the shrine. The shrine is dedicated to the Meiji Emperor, the Emperor who began Japan’s emergence as a modern and major global power. You don’t mention that, either.
I was there in September 2024. Your wonderful video is a joyful reminder of my tour. My fortune was a good one ❤
Thank you for this video. I will definitely visit!

Thank you for your great guidance. 🙏
Wonderful video! Meiji Shrine would definitely be regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the world 👌
Totally agree with you!! I really like the shrine!!
Love the video. Thank you ❤. Coming next week to Tokio
Great video and narration
Thank you! So nice of you to say that🥰
Thank you Aya-san. Just subscribed!
2:13 I've heard about those sake barrels! I think they were donated by local businesses. This is the first time I've seen footage of them though ☺
Yes you are right, those sake barrels are donated to the shrine by sake brewers from all over Japan. They are empty tho 😆
Hi - so what's the etiquette when you were worshipping - bow, followed by two claps?

I was so confused what to do at the temple. I tried to copy what everyone else was doing but it got overwhelming
Hope this video helps you a bit…
But it’s the thought that count!!
I have been to this shrine 4 times and didn't realise the heart shapes!
You’ve been there 4 times?! Do you live here??
Whom do you worship. At the shrine???
How much do you pay for admission?
It's free.
Giappone: amore!
