Meiji Shrine - מדריך אודיו חינמי

Meiji Jingu (明治神宮) in Shibuya, Tokyo, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. Established in the early 20th century and rebuilt after wartime damage, it occupies tranquil, forested grounds formed from trees donated from across Japan. The site combines religious importance and cultural heritage: it is a focal point for Shinto rituals, imperial commemoration, traditional weddings and seasonal observances such as New Year visits. Key attractions include the main shrine buildings with classic Shinto architecture, monumental torii gates, decorative sake and wine barrel displays, an inner garden and a museum preserving Meiji‑era artifacts. The shrine is generally open daily with typical morning‑to‑evening hours; entrance to the grounds is usually free while specific gardens or exhibitions may charge modest fees. Access is broadly visitor‑friendly, though some paths are gravel or uneven.
