Tokyo Japan 2014 - Japan, Tokyo, Meiji Shinto

---

Meiji Shrine located in Shibuya, Tokyo is the Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Shōken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on November 1, 1920.
