"The Meiji Shrine was built in honor of Emperor Meiji, the 19th-century emperor who opened Japan to the West. It's surprising that such a majestic shrine filled with nature and serenity exists in the middle of this bustling city. If you find yourself in need of a breather away from the busy streets of Tokyo, go for a stroll inside the tranquil grounds of this shrine." - Misa Matsuda Maraun
