The shrine is preparing to celebrate its momentous 90th anniversary since its founding, and these lanterns serve as a vibrant symbol of joy and reverence during this auspicious occasion. The image showcases the dedication and attention to detail that goes into creating an enchanting atmosphere for visitors who flock to the shrine each year. As dusk settles over the tranquil grounds, these lanterns will illuminate the pathways, casting a warm glow on those who come to pay their respects or simply immerse themselves in the serene ambiance. Meiji Shrine holds great significance in Japanese society as it stands as a testament to tradition, spirituality, and cultural heritage.
