Meiji Shrine, located in 170 acres of forest within Tokyo, dazzling culture and passion, is a sanctuary of peace, a shrine to Japan’s first modern Emperor, whose spirit is believed to rest here.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is another retreat from the crowds and stress of the city, this is in fact a collection of gardens of exceptional beauty.
