Two, large gates frame the entrance to this Shinto shrine that was dedicated to Emperor and Empress Meiji. Completed in 1920, repairs were required after the shrine was damaged during World War II.

My favourite place in Tojyo, simple as that. When combined with its gardens this wonderful, beguiling shrine will keep you captivated for hours as it did me. The main shrine is stunning with is huge torii and beautiful colours I loved the row of burgundy wine barrels and sake barrels opposite, gifts for the consecration of the shrine.. There is a beautiful prayer wall too on the right as you look at the main shrine. They ive you a nice little guide going in and you starmp it yourself with a lovely old ink stamper. The pair of sacred Camphor trees in the forecourt are gorgeous. One was planted in memory of the Emperor who died in 1912, the other for the Empress who passed in 1920. They are two trees tended to look like one, a beautiful sentiment. Now, one main bit of advice. Don't limit yourself just to the main shrine. Wander around the grounds as there are some simply gorgeous smaller ones dotted about. Anyway, a wonderful, spiritual place, very moving and captivating. An absolute must do.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 259 reviews
Tokyo Camii, also known as Tokyo Mosque, is a mosque with an adjoining Turkish culture center located in the Ōyama-chō district of Shibuya ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is the largest mosque in Japan. The mosque was originally built along with an adjoining school on May 12, 1938 by Bashkir and Tatar immigrants from Russia who had come to Japan after the October Revolution. It was made under the direction of Abdürreşid İbrahim, the first Imam of the mosque, and Abdülhay Kurban Ali. In 1986, the mosque had to be demolished because of severe structural damage. Under the direction and support of Diyanet İşleri Başkanliği a new building was begun in 1998. The architect for the building was Muharrem Hilmi Senalp. The ornamentation was based on Ottoman religious architecture. Around 70 Turkish craftsmen performed the finishing details, and a considerable quantity of marble was imported from Turkey. The construction was completed in 2000. Tokyo Camii is 734 square meters in area. Its main dome is 23 meters tall and is supported by six pillars, while the adjacent minaret is 41 tall.

Visited the Shrine on the same day as the new Emperor was installed. A national holiday for the Japanese with many there to honour a very famous Emperor of the past. The entry portal is quite magnificent and the area beatuifully wooded. A very enjoyable visit.

Mesmerising sightseeing experience in the very heart of Shiniya. Games of lights, music, amazing landscapes from a height which towers above the frantic Tokyo night and neon lights. It is quite expensive, but for lovers of heights and Tokyo horizon landscapes, it is absolutely worth it. Less known if compared to Tokyo Sky tree, Tokyo Tower or other similar Buildings. Will definitely win you over

This shrine is quite well kept and honors Marshall Togo for the Japanese naval victory over the Russian Baltic Fleet which essentially ended the Russo=Japanese War.

Hachiko is a legend in Tokyo, so much so that copy statues of this faithful are common (such as in Don Quixote). But this is the real deal, and a great photo opportunity. The statue is easily located outside Shibuya station, and definitely worth visiting and knowing the story so you can understand the obsession with all the Hachiko souvenirs!

Browse through both well-known international brand outposts and less mainstream shops on this street. Unlike the rest of Shibuya, this shopping street is quiet and relaxed.

Originally got the idea to visit this place from a guy I follow on YouTube that lives in Japan. Enjoyed the shops but I truly enjoyed taking the side streets. Really beautiful area and you'll find interesting small restaurants and shops off the main path.

Love to promenade and to enter in the different shops and restaurants in what is the Champs Elysees of Japan...there is a great japanise kimono shop and international restaurants along this great avenue... I highly recommend to walk along the Yoyogi Koen park and the Meiji Jingumae Temple. Take a poem at the entrance from this japanise emper and visit one of the most beautiful sintoist temples in Tokyo.
