Lonely Planet review for Nogi-Jinja & General Nogi’s Residence
A short walk from the urbanity that is Tokyo Midtown, this shrine on the grounds of the home of a Meiji-era general is a relaxing break. The shiny black wooden house is open to the public only on 12 and 13 September, but the rest of the year you can peek through its windows and notice the mash-up of Japanese and Western styles that defined the Meiji period; think a tatami room with a Western fireplace.
