Meiji Jingu is a Shinto sanctuary. Shinto is called Japan's old unique religion, and it is profoundly established in the method for Japanese life. Shinto has no organizer, no blessed book, and not even the idea of religious transformation, however Shinto values for instance agreement with nature and ideals, for example, "Magokoro (true heart)". In Shinto, some godlikeness is found as Kami (celestial soul), or it might be said that there is a boundless number of Kami. You can see Kami in mythology, in nature, and in individuals. From antiquated times, Japanese individuals have felt wonder and appreciation towards such Kami and devoted sanctums to a considerable lot of them.
This hallowed place is devoted to the celestial souls of Emperor Meiji and his associate Empress Shoken (their tombs are in Kyoto).
Sovereign Meiji passed away in 1912 and Empress Shoken in 1914. After their downfall, individuals wished to celebrate their ideals and to worship them for eternity. So they gave 100,000 trees from all over Japan and from abroad, and they worked willfully to make this woods. Therefore, because of the genuine heart of the individuals, this place of worship was built on November 1, 1920.
