Meiji Shrine (明治神宮), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. Many religious rites and wedding ceremonies can be observed there. Traditional Japanese wedding customs (shinzen shiki) involve an elaborate ceremony held at a Shinto shrine.
