Meiji Jingu tokyo
As at other shrines and temples in Tokyo, it is the tranquillity and orderliness here that captivate. Glorious woodland, said to comprise 120,000 trees, surrounds Meiji Shrine, which itself has exquisite gardens. The original 1920 shrine was destroyed by bombing in WWII, but the reconstruction is a grandly impressive piece of Shinto-style architecture. Try to visit on a Sunday if you can, as this is when most weddings happen.
