About Sangūbashi
Sangūbashi is a small Odakyu line station serving the Sangūbashi area between Shinjuku and Harajuku. The station gives the quietest and most atmospheric back-entrance approach to Meiji Shrine, entering via the tranquil Minami-Sando path through ancient cedar forest rather than the crowded main entrance. The neighbourhood is residential and peaceful.
