Meiji Jingu: Stroller friendly?

Yes. You can keep the stroller with you. The approaches are spread with gravel, but a paved strip runs along the side of them, and visitors say that is the way to go — the wheels sink in the gravel. The south approach from Harajuku is the one rated as manageable there and back. At the Minami-Shinmon and at the hall itself the steps have a ramp beside them, and in front of the main hall people park the stroller at the edge and carry the child. There is a marked stroller park in front of the Kaguraden, which you cannot wheel into. At New Year and Shichi-Go-San the crowds make it hard, and staff at the Kaguraden will take the stroller for you. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Diaper changing table?

Yes. Tokyo's on-site survey counted four changing tables. They are in the basement of the Kaguraden — in the toilets there, not in the nursing room itself — and around Restaurant Yoyogi in Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu, where two of them sit outside the toilets and can be used by either parent. The toilet block by Forest Terrace has one in the accessible toilet and two in the women's. Reports disagree on whether the Kaguraden has one on the men's side, so ask if you need it. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Nursing space?

Yes. There are two, and at both you speak to a member of staff first. The one in the basement of the Kaguraden has two partitioned spaces, chairs, a nursing cushion and a water server for making up formula, and it is roomy enough to wheel the stroller in — it is for women only. The building is signed for people attending a prayer service, but visitors who asked to use the nursing room were shown the way. The other is on the first floor of Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu, behind Restaurant Yoyogi: two cubicles closed off with curtains, with hot water. You reach it through a door inside the restaurant, and when the restaurant is shut you go in by the Bridal Salon entrance. You do not have to eat there to use it. Neither room has a changing table — for that you go to the toilets. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Indoor / outdoor?

Yes. Outdoors — 700,000 square meters of woodland with gravel approaches through it. The one indoor place is the Meiji Jingu Museum, a two-story exhibition building you pay to enter. (checked 2026-08-08)

Meiji Jingu: Family restroom?

Yes. There are accessible toilets at Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu — that one is fitted for ostomates and opens at the push of a button, with room for a wheelchair — and at the cafe Mori no Terrace by the Harajuku entrance, and on the first floor of the Meiji Jingu Museum. Sources do not agree on the total: Tokyo's survey counted two in the grounds, the shrine's own map shows three wheelchair marks, and one accessibility guide says four of the nine toilets have an accessible one attached. None of them mentions a baby-holder seat. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Outside food allowed?

Yes. Eating and drinking are not allowed outside the designated places — the shrine's list of prohibitions asks you not to smoke or eat anywhere else. The places it names for a light meal or a restaurant are Mori no Terrace and Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu. (checked 2026-08-08)

Meiji Jingu: Kids' toilet seat & step stool?

No. Three separate listings for the toilets in the grounds — the Kaguraden basement, Restaurant Yoyogi and Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu — all record that there is no child's toilet seat. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Elevator?

Yes. The lifts are inside the buildings, not on the approaches — the walk to the main hall is on the level, with ramps at the steps. Tokyo's survey measured two at Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu, both holding 15 people, with door widths of 88 and 80 centimeters and depths of 165 and 135 — big enough to take a stroller without folding it. The Meiji Jingu Museum has one between its first and second floors, and there is a wheelchair lift beside the Kaguraden. (checked 2026-09-04)

Meiji Jingu: Quietness (guide)?

Yes. The shrine asks visitors to dress appropriately for worship and to spend their time quietly, and running or sports inside the grounds are not allowed without permission — this is not a place set up for children to run around in. (checked 2026-08-08)

Meiji Jingu: Crowding (guide)?

Yes. The shrine writes that at New Year the approaches are filled with worshippers, as they are every year. (checked 2026-08-08)

Meiji Jingu: Stroller access notes?

Yes. From any entrance it is about a ten-minute walk to the main hall, along approaches spread with gravel. At the Minami-Shinmon, the gate in front of the main hall, there is a wooden beam across the threshold — the shrine asks you to step over it, not on it. North of the main hall there is a lawn, where in good weather you can sit down on the grass and take your time. (checked 2026-08-08)

Meiji Jingu

Save

A shrine wrapped in 700,000 square meters of forest, founded in 1920.

Tokyo's ancient-looking shrine forest was planted by hand a century ago.

MoreWhat kind of place

Meiji Jingu was founded in 1920, and the forest around it was planted by hand rather than left from an older wood.

About 100,000 trees were donated from across Japan, and 110,000 young men volunteered to put them in the ground over 700,000 square meters (roughly 170 acres).

The foresters who planned it chose broadleaf evergreens meant to last a century, and a hundred years on, natural thinning has brought the original 120,000 trees down to about 36,000 much larger ones.

With kidsThe part that matters

The main hall is about a 10-minute walk from any entrance, all of it over gravel meant to settle you on the way in.

Partway along you pass under the great torii, the largest wooden gate of its style in Japan, 12 meters (39 feet) tall and cut from a Taiwanese cypress that had grown for 1,500 years.

For a snack or a sit-down there are two places, Mori no Terrace and Forest Terrace, and they are the only spots on the grounds where you may eat, so it is worth timing the stop for one of them.

The shrine asks visitors to spend the time quietly and does not allow running or sports without approval, so knowing that before you go in saves you calling a child back on the path.

North of the main hall a lawn opens out with the Shinjuku towers behind it, and in good weather you can sit down on the grass and let everyone take their time.

By age0-1 / 2-3 / 4-6

Ages 0-1North of the main hall there is a lawn where, in good weather, you can settle down on the grass. It is a quiet place with the Shinjuku high-rises behind it, and the North Pond beside it has ducks, mandarin ducks among them. The Hatsumiyamode prayer for a baby needs no reservation if you come as a family.From each entrance it is about a ten-minute walk each way to the main hall over a path laid with gravel; the shrine's own Q&A notes that visitors from abroad find it curious that the path is deliberately made harder to walk on. The Minami-shinmon gate at the front has a raised threshold beam that you step over rather than on. For a prayer service you fill in a form at the entrance to the Kaguraden on the day; only the special prayer services, from 100,000 yen, are by reservation. The traffic-safety amulet sticker can be put on a stroller as well as on a car.
Ages 2-3The great torii where the south and north approaches meet stands 12 meters high and 17.1 meters wide with pillars 1.2 meters across, the largest wooden myojin-style torii in Japan, and you walk under it over the gravel. Along the approach stand rows of straw-wrapped sake barrels offered by brewers from all over Japan, and wine barrels offered by celebrated houses in Burgundy, France.Running and sports are not allowed in the precinct without permission, and the shrine asks visitors to dress suitably for worship and to spend their time quietly. When a child needs to move, head round to the lawn north of the main hall. Eating outside the designated places is not allowed either, so keep snacks for Mori no Terrace or Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu. At New Year the approach is filled with worshippers every year.
Ages 4-6The middle of the approach, called seichu, is held to be the path of the deity, and people of old kept off it, so this is the age at which a child can keep the rule of walking at the side by themselves. The shrine explains that the gravel is laid so that, as you come in through the torii and along the approach, treading on clean stones gradually purifies you. Inside the paid Inner Garden (500 yen) is Kiyomasa's Well, said to have been dug by Kato Kiyomasa, yielding an average of 60 liters a minute, holding at around 15 degrees Celsius through all four seasons and never running dry.Prayer services such as Shichi-Go-San need no reservation for a family; you fill in a form at the entrance to the Kaguraden on the day, and from January 1 to 3 the offering starts at 10,000 yen instead of 5,000. The gates open at sunrise and close at sunset, so the hours shift month by month, and facilities in the precinct close earlier than the gates (the shrine gives roughly 9:00 to 16:00). The Inner Garden is open 9:00 to 16:30 (to 16:00 from November to February; 8:00 to 17:00 in June, to 18:00 on weekends), and in early to mid June about 150 varieties and 1,500 plants of Japanese iris are in bloom. Worship is free; the only paid places are the Inner Garden at 500 yen and the Meiji Jingu Museum (1,000 yen general, 900 yen high school and under, free below elementary school age).

By weatherRain, heat, cold

Rainy dayOutdoors. The grounds are 700,000 square meters of forest and approach paths, and it is about a 10-minute walk one way over gravel from any entrance to the main shrine. The only indoor space is the Meiji Jingu Museum, which charges admission.

Before you go

People made this forest a century ago. The 700,000 square meters (about 170 acres) of trees are officially described as a planted forest built out of ordinary people's goodwill: roughly 100,000 trees were donated from all over Japan, and 110,000 young men volunteered their labor to plant them and lay out the approach paths. The shrine was founded in 1920.source2026-08-08
The planners picked trees for a hundred years out, and pushed back against the prime minister to do it. The forestry scholars Honda Seiroku, Hongo Takanori, and Uehara Keiji settled on broadleaf evergreens such as chinquapin, oak, and camphor for the main planting, because pollution in the Tokyo of that era was killing off big old trees. Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu wanted avenues of cedar like Ise and Nikko and demanded to know whether they intended to turn the shrine into a thicket, but the forest team held firm and won him over by explaining that cedar was wrong for the ground at Yoyogi.source2026-08-08

More notes (11)

That decision ended up sheltering people in wartime. Air raids in April 1945 burned most of the shrine buildings, yet the official account records that the forest became a place of refuge and suffered no major damage. The shrine suggests, without claiming it outright, that the trees being broadleaf evergreens rather than conifers, which burn easily, may be why the fire did not spread.source2026-08-08
After a hundred years, there are fewer trees and each one is bigger. The inner grounds began with about 120,000 trees of 365 species, counting those already growing there; the second comprehensive survey of the grounds, reported in 2013 ahead of the centennial, found about 36,000 trees of 234 species. Natural thinning let the survivors grow large, and the same survey turned up around 3,000 kinds of living things, including species new to science and endangered ones. The centennial of the enshrinement fell in 2020.source2026-08-08
The gravel on the approach means something. The tama in the name of these round stones is the same tama as in spirit, and it also carries the sense of something beautiful and precious. Spreading them purifies the ground, so that as you pass through the torii and walk the approach, treading on clean stone gradually settles and cleanses you. The middle of the path is called the seichu, the way the deities travel, and people in the past kept off the center. The same official Q&A notes that visitors from abroad find it strange that the walking has been made deliberately difficult.source2026-08-08
Japan's largest wooden torii is made from a Taiwanese cypress that grew for 1,500 years. The great torii, the second gate, stands where the south and north approaches meet: 12 meters (39 feet) high, 17.1 meters (56 feet) wide, with pillars 1.2 meters (4 feet) across, weighing 13 tons, the largest wooden myojin-style torii in Japan. The first one was cut from a cypress over 1,200 years old on Alishan in Taiwan and raised in 1920, until lightning damaged it on July 22, 1966. No cypress that size was left in Japan, so the timber merchant Kawashima Yasushi went back to Taiwan again and again until he found a tree more than 1,500 years old on Mount Danda at 3,300 meters (10,800 feet), then cut a road into trackless cliffs to get it out. The new torii was finished on December 23, 1975.source2026-08-08
Kiyomasa's Well and the iris field are inside the Gyoen garden, which costs 500 yen. The well is said to have been dug by the warlord Kato Kiyomasa and ranks among Tokyo's best-known springs, averaging 60 liters (16 gallons) a minute, holding steady at about 15°C (59°F) through all four seasons, and never running dry. The iris field was planted with Japanese irises at Emperor Meiji's direction for Empress Shoken, and now carries about 1,500 plants of some 150 varieties. It was laid out so that you cannot take it in at a glance but walk small paths through it, and the flowers peak in the first half of June.source2026-08-08
The married camphors are two trees planted as saplings in 1920, when the shrine was founded, and grown side by side ever since. A sacred rope binds them together, and they stand for a devoted couple, like Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, and for a healthy family. The shrine's English page describes them as planted as saplings when Meiji Jingu was established in 1920.source2026-08-08
The lawn by the north pond is a quiet stretch of grass with the high-rises of Shinjuku behind it; the shrine's English page calls it a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature. Ducks, mandarin ducks among them, use the north pond. On March 3, paper dolls are floated on the water for the girls' festival. A stone shaped like a turtle sits close by.source2026-08-08
The place name Yoyogi comes from the great fir trees that grew here generation after generation. One of them spread about 54 meters (177 feet) across at its widest and measured roughly 10.8 meters (35 feet) around the trunk. People said you could see the whole of Edo from its branches, and that in the last years of the shogunate it was used to watch the movements of the black ships, the foreign warships then arriving off the coast. It died in the mid-Meiji period and burned in the air raids of 1945; the fir standing on the same spot today was planted on April 3, 1952.source2026-08-08
Along the side of the approach stand straw-wrapped sake barrels offered by brewers from all over Japan, and beside them wine barrels sent by celebrated houses in Burgundy, France. The wine has arrived every year since 2006, in memory of Emperor Meiji, who, as the shrine's English page puts it, loved Western cuisine and wine.source2026-08-08
The traffic safety sticker can go on a stroller. The official wording is that the sticker is not only for cars but may also be stuck on a helmet or a stroller.source2026-08-08
Goshuin, the inked seals visitors collect in a book, are handled at the Nagadono, the office in front of the kagura dance hall, from 9 a.m. until the gates close.source2026-08-08

The forest around this Tokyo shrine looks ancient, but people planted it a century ago. Forestry scholars picked species that could grow into woodland on their own, and about a hundred thousand trees arrived as gifts from across Japan. The gravel approaches pass a great wooden torii, the largest of its kind in Japan, then rows of sake barrels and Burgundy wine casks. North of the main hall, a lawn opens out beside a pond where ducks gather.
