Meiji Jingu Higashijinmon
明治神宮 東神門
The Higashijinmon, or East Shrine Gate, serves as the majestic entrance to the inner precincts of Meiji Jingu, leading visitors towards the main shrine buildings. This grand wooden gate, built in a traditional Japanese style, signifies the transition from the bustling city to a tranquil, sacred space. It is a key architectural element that enhances the spiritual journey within the shrine grounds.
