Togo Shrine in Harajuku

Exploring nearby Takeshita Street

Michael Williams   - 1 min read

Just off of Harajuku's busy fashion focused Takeshita Street lays the Togo Shrine. Built in 1940, it was dedicated to the passing of Marshal-Admiral Marquis Togo Heihachiro. Here he is celebrated as a spirit inside the grounds. Whilst smaller than the nearby Meiji Shrine, it acts as a beautiful calm environment in a fast paced area of Shibuya.
