A figure was relaxing in the shade of a tree in a deserted, Shinto forest of the Meiji Jingu Shrine

When going to visit Meiji Jingu Shrine, many people probably think of the route from getting off the train at Harajuku Station to the approach to the shrine. This is the route that passes the Daiichi-torii (first shrine gate) standing near the station, continues on the south approach, turns sharp left onto the main approach, walks for a while past the Otorii (grand gate), and then turns right again. This route is always crowded. If you want to walk to the main shrine in a more relaxed atmosphere, I recommend heading from Sangubashi Bridge, but instead of going straight down the West Approach, take a short detour and go around from where the Shiseikan Hall stands. Fewer people take this route than those coming from Harajuku Station, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of the shrine grove in the middle of the city.

The park-like setting in the photo is on the way from the Shiseikan Hall to the main shrine. There is a lush green lawn with a row of lush green trees. I saw a figure relaxing in the shade of a tree. If you look at the photo carefully, it may not look like a shrine grove. But relaxing in such a place in the late afternoon when the sky is high may bring into your body a kind of energy that is rarely nourished.
