'Crowds gathered at Meiji Jingu in Shibuya Ward, and waited in line to usher in 2026.

'The sound of a drumbeat at midnight signaled the arrival of the New Year. Visitors then proceeded under police guidance to the main hall. They threw monetary offerings into a wide fenced-in area, and made their wishes for the coming year.'

Mein November in Tokyo – kleine Alltagsabenteuer, neue Orte und ein bisschen Magie

Mein Tokyo-Trip: Katzentempel, Feuerritual, Shinjuku bei Nacht und viele neue Eindrücke. Ein persönlicher Reisebericht.

Looking up to the #trees at the #gardens of the#beautiful #MeijiJingu #Shrine!
In the Meiji Jingu garden is an iris bed, set in a water fed marsh/mud, with #Japanese pond #turtles swimming around in the channels that delimit the plantings. The #iris garden cost 3€ to enter, which is just to help pay the upkeep of that particular area of the park. The irises flower in June, and were quite simply magnificent. #Butterflies and #dragonflies were flitting and fluttering around. A real gem in my book. We also went and visited a well that was captured in the #Edo period, and a small lake brimming with water lilies.

Went to Meiji Park today, and the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine, and we were very grateful for the shade offered by the woodland that surrounds it. At the shrine, in the inner courtyard, there was a display of twenty or so bonsai trees of varying ages. The oldest one there appeared to be this specimen, a mere 300 years old! This was the first time I'd seen so many bonsai trees together in one place. If you are interested in getting away from the urban bustle of #Harakuju, then Meiji Jingu is the place to go.

Join me on a serene walk through Meiji Jingu Shrine, Tokyo’s spiritual sanctuary, filmed on a sweltering August day. Despite the intense heat and humidity, the lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere offer a refreshing escape from the urban bustle.
