Meiji Shrine













Next to Yoyogi Park is the most popular Shrine in Japan. The Meiji Shrine was built for the Emperor and Empress that modernized Japan. We visited the garden area first which has a tea house, coy pond, iris garden, etc. There is a special spot where the spring water comes up in a barrel, and we stood in line a long time to get a picture of it. I think they consider it to be highest quality of water and also to be a spiritual power spot. The Shrine had gorgeous architecture.
