A few hundred metres from the bustle and chaos of Takeshita-dori, the main hangout of funky teenagers in Harajuku, Tokyo, lies a true urban oasis.
Meiji Jingu is a beautiful imposing shrine nestled amongst a forest of green, right in the middle of one of the busiest parts of the city.
Your pace slows, and you start to breathe more deeply with every step away from the street, into this sacred place.
As you wash your hands at the entrance, you feel like you are washing away the inevitable city dust.
As you watch others step forward and give their offerings, your own mind calms a little.
Why not take yourself away from the hustle and bustle and find somewhere quiet to escape to today?
