[About the Shrine] Meiji Jingu Shrine is known as the shrine with the most visitors for New Year's Hatsumode in Japan. Located in the heart of Tokyo, it is surrounded by a vast forest and is known as Tokyo's premier power spot. Reasons for this include its location in the center of one of the world's largest metropolises, Tokyo, while being a healing spot with a vast protective forest (Jingu no Mori), and its position on a dragon脉 (ryūmyaku) that extends from Mt. Fuji. Its power spot effects are said to include healing, purification, and improvement of luck. The enshrined deities are Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. While the shrine is famous for matchmaking, it also offers benefits such as business prosperity, family safety, and warding off evil, and is known as the shrine with the most Hatsumode visitors in Japan. For those who cannot visit due to distance or other circumstances, you can still receive blessings by obtaining lucky charms or amulets!
