Meiji Shrine

This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Emperor Meiji (of the Meiji Restoration) and his wife, Empress Shoken. It has extensive grounds, but was raining so hard we didn't spend as much time exploring as we normally would have. Also, as with most shrines, photography is restricted in many places.

Built in 1920, it was damaged in World War Two, and rebuilt in 1958.

Also at the end, the chocolate baumkuchen we had afterwards. Yes, German cake in Japan.Læs mere
