Walk the Serene Pathway Through a Forest Grove in the Heart of the City, Pay Quiet Respects

About this spot

A shrine dedicated to the Meiji Emperor and Empress Shoken, surrounded by a deep forest despite its location in the urban center. Passing through the entrance near Harajuku Station, a serene pathway continues contrary to the city's bustle. Walking amid the trees creates a calming atmosphere. The path to the main hall is gradual, accessible even for families with small children. This forest, planted with trees gathered from across Japan about a century ago, now nurtures abundant natural beauty. It's the perfect place for a quiet moment at the beginning of a day in the city center.

2026年7月20日(月)開催、明治神宮野球場で行われるプロ野球ナイターにあわせた花火大会です。18時に試合が始まり、5回裏の終了後、約300発の花火がグラウンドの外から打ち上がります。都心のスタジアムならではの、ナイター照明と花火が重なり合う特別な眺めが魅力で、試合の応援と花火観賞を同時に楽しめるのがこの大会ならではの醍醐味です。座席にゆったり座ったまま観覧できるので、小さな子ども連れでも安心して楽しめます。7月21日(火)・22日(水)の対中日戦でも同様の花火が予定されています。

Tips

観戦には事前のチケット購入が必須です。球場内は飲食物の持ち込みにルールがある場合があるので、公式サイトで確認しておきましょう。荒天時は花火が中止となる場合があります。試合終了後は最寄り駅が大変混雑するため、少し時間を置いてからの退場がおすすめです。
