One of the top hits in google for places to visit in Tokyo is the Meiji Jingu. It is an extensive garden with a Shinto shrine in the middle dedicated to the great Emperor Meiji who supposedly helped build Japan into the prosperous nation it is today.
There weren't much people entering through the Torii gate near Kita-Sendo station. So you can take tons of shots here, but note that the Torii gate is much smaller compared to the one near Harajuku station. From here on you can walk right and pass through a garden, Homotsuden(treasure musuem), and head towards the middle for the actual shrine.
