Closest Hotels to Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu):
Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine is one of the holiest and most visited temples in the country. This Shinto shrine is dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, who was credited with opening Japan up to the outside world, and to his wife Empress Shoken. Built in 1920 following their deaths in 1912 and 1914 respectively, the original shrine burnt down during World War II, only to be rebuilt by 1958. Today, as well as the Naihaiden (Inner Shrine), which is home to the main shrine, visitors can also see the Gehaiden (Outer Shrine), which was completed in 1926. Other highlights are the Homotsuden (Treasure Museum), which was built in 1921 and houses photos and personal belongings of the emperor and empress.
