Dining Hall of the Meiji Imperial Court

26 July – 9 November 2017
Meiji Kinenkan (Main Building)

 
You may have visited the Meiji Shrine near JR Harajuku Station. But did you know that the shrine runs a wedding complex, opened in 1947, near Akasaka Palace?

The complex Meiji Kinenkan (the Meiji Memorial Hall) is holding an exhibition to mark its 70th anniversary this year (at the main building, admission free). It sheds light on the imperial dining of the Meiji era, from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century. During the exhibition, visitors may taste a dish and a desert from that period, to be served at the historical hall with splendid interiors.
