Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken, dedicated in 1920 and rebuilt in 1958 after the 1945 air raids destroyed it. It stands in a 70-hectare forest of trees donated from all over Japan, beside Yoyogi Park; wooden torii mark the gravel paths to the main hall.
Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Chiyoda, founded in 1869, that commemorates about 2.5 million people who died in Japan's service, from the Boshin War to the Second World War. Among them are 1,068 convicted war criminals, 14 of them Class A, which makes the shrine politically contested; the Yūshūkan war museum stands on its grounds.
Sensō-ji is the oldest-established Buddhist temple in Tokyo, dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon; tradition dates it to 628, when two fishermen found a Kannon statue in the Sumida River. Visitors pass the Kaminarimon gate and the Nakamise shopping street to the Hōzōmon gate, the five-storey pagoda and the main hall, rebuilt in 1958 after the 1945 air raids.
