Meiji Jingu

You don't need to travel all the way to Kyoto to experience a beautiful Shinto shrine. Meiji Shrine is located a near Harajuku station and can easily combined with a stroll in the nearby Yoyogi Park, which is perfect to escape the city vibe for a bit. Vsiting this shrine is especially fun on national festival days/holidays as well as on Sundays, as you will be likely to watch a parade or a wedding procession.
