This forest is 80 years old, which is not as old as we expect. The oasis surrounded by Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya worships the Meiji Emperor and Empress, and their furnishing goods such as historical costumes, drawers, books, horse carts, and others are exhibited at a treasure house.
the 700,000-square meter garden was an inhospitable country in the beginning because of the World War II. There was no forest and even trees. However over 100,000 trees were donated from all over the nation, and over 110,000 volunteers participated in the recovery of the land. Additionally a lot of donation were gathered for the garden. Finally Meiji Shrine was dedicated. These facts are described in “Three beautiful stories about the beginning of Meiji Shrine”.
There are 3 huge gates at Meiji Shrine, and all of them are made of woods. Whenever I enter the gates, I want to breathe fresh air due to the sanctity. Please remember that we can’t bring back anything even fallen leaves and acorns. There is an old emperor’s garden surrounded by bamboo. Everybody can go inside with an entrance fee (500 YEN) and see many flowers. At this moment more than 150 sorts of iris are beautiful.
