Meiji Shrine





Big Frank had some time this evening to visit the Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū),located in Shibuya, Tokyo. This shrine is dedicated to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. It was originally built in the 1920s, then destroyed by American bombing during WWII, and rebuilt in the 1950s. It is a Shinto Shrine and is surrounded by a beautiful forest of over 170 acres - right in the middle of Tokyo.
