On the first day of Tokyo's cherry blossom viewing tour in Hokkaido, after finishing the crepes and shopping with my friends, I walked over to Meiji Jingu Shrine to take a look. It is the largest green space in the center of Tokyo and can be seen from a distance. Go to this big torii gate.
Huge wooden torii gate.
I really like this one, it’s very FU!
The trees are very, very tall, really towering trees.
Walking inside feels like escaping from the fast-paced and crowded city. Eyes are full of green, and the whole person feels relaxed and comfortable.
When I walked to the end of the shrine, I saw this Japanese sake barrel.
My fifth trip to Japan, this time I finally had a model to mess with! The little friend appears for the first time!
Wine barrel.
We walked to the second big torii gate, but there was not much time left before the scheduled lunch at noon, so we had to go back without walking to the shrine.
I quickly rushed to Ginza and made a reservation for the high-end Kobe beef teppanyaki at noon. Eating Kobe beef teppanyaki in Ginza sounds expensive, but it’s not. See you in the next article!
