Meji is the largest and most popular of the Tokyo shrines. It is particularly popular as a wedding spot. They also have folk dance presentations here that shouldn't be missed.

It's too bad for me to think that this was a performance inside meijijingu until I discovered it is a real Japanese Wedding Ceremony.

A Japanese Wedding ceremony was going on when we visited Meiji-jingu Shrine. The poor couple became the backdrop of photo taking for foreign travellers :-(

The blooming iris garden is fantastic!! It has collection of many different species all over Japan. Many people come and make sketches on the iris. Should never be missed if you visit Japan in June!

This is a beautiful, huge shrine in Tokyo. Originally built in 1920, it was destroyed in WWII and rebuilt in 1958.

One of the many little kids in fancy kimonos during my visit to the Meji Shrine.

I was lucky in that at the time of my visit, it was the week of Shichi-go-san Festival so the shrine was swarming with little kids with their best kimonos on.
