December 18, 2025

Tokyo, Japan

As part of his official visit to Japan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited Meiji Jingu Shrine, the largest Shinto shrine in Tokyo.

The shrine complex, built in 1920, holds the status of an imperial shrine. Its grounds include a picturesque park with approximately 120,000 trees and shrubs.

Meiji Jingu Shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji, whose reign was marked by profound political and socio-economic reforms that enabled Japan to emerge as one of the world's most advanced nations.

At the conclusion of the visit, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev made an entry in the book of honorary guests.

"Meiji Jingu Shrine is a symbol of unbreakable unity and national identity, holding deep historical significance for the Japanese people. I wish prosperity to the Land of the Rising Sun!" the Head of State wrote.
