Free and important destination: Meiji Shrine

The Meiji Shrine is another place to go which is also free. It is located right by the Harajuku station and where the Harajuku kids hang out.



The Meiji shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken

The only thing I did that cost money was write down a prayer and donate 100 yen to the shrine.
Here is a video of me writing out my prayer:




Barrels of wine...


Barrels of sake dedicated to the shrine...

Write your own prayer and make an offering to the shrine.


Other visitors' prayers on display...

We even got to see a wedding!
