Chapter 40: You Can’t Measure Sincerity With Money

Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Tokyo.

The Meiji Shrine was the largest shrine in Tokyo. Although it was located in the heart of Shibuya, it was surrounded by a massive forest area. 

The road to the Meiji Shrine was wide, flanked by rows of towering trees. From time to time, one could hear the chirping of wild fowls as they flew across the trees and witnessed intricate architectures that blended both modern and ancient styles together. There was also an endless flow of visitors, making the spacious opening appear less empty. 

How many worshippers were there in the Meiji Shrine? According to the report, the total number of worshippers that made a visit to the Meiji Shrine during the New Year celebration reached a whopping number of 300 million. It was ranked first place in Tokyo, and second throughout Japan. 

Comparatively, the report of the temple beside the Meiji Shrine was unpresentable.
