Meiji Shrine
A must. First, have your hotel run you up a picnic, then cab it to the main entrance near Harajuku Station. Exquisitely simple and peaceful, this Shinto shrine in a huge park is the most important in Tokyo. After, face the shrine, exit left out of the courtyard, follow the maps to the Treasure House (don’t go in), and have your picnic under a tree in the meadow. If it’s Sunday, venture on to Yoyogi Park and Takeshita Street.
