A panoramic view of the regality of Japan's history at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan which is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken leaves one in awe! Emperor Meiji brought about a wide-spread change in Japanese society and politics by opening up of trade and policies with other nations of the western world. The Meiji era is marked by the confluence of Western-meets-Eastern and rapid industrialization and growth. The shrine itself is a traditional Shinto shrine built in 1920. It was once destroyed in the World War II but was rebuilt after raising funds and completed in 1958. The garden grounds are spread over 700,000 square meters and have trees received as donations from all over the country. The New Year's Eve which is looked forward to every year sees thousands of people to gather, pray and receive blessings at the shrine.
