Our adventure continues in Tokyo and with each passing day I realize what I think I have known all along…
Its going to be so difficult for me to leave the Land of the Rising Sun!
On this day our journey began on a visit to the Meiji Shrine and Harajuku where I lost myself to the splendors of what I believe most travelers love about Tokyo, the inspiring class of new and old melding seamlessly together. So let me take you with me on a journey of my favorites moments of the day…
Harajuku Station
Entrance to Meiji Jingu (this was quite emotional for me to be standing underneath)
Worshipping Ladies beautifully dressed
Sake Barrels wrapped in straw
Inner Entrance
Ritual Cleansing (I cant begin to explain how crisp the water felt, truly leaving you feeling cleansed)
Inner Sanctum
Pathway just outside of shrine (for the briefest of moments, I felt I had been transported back in time)
Takeshita Dori
My favorite 100 yen Shop!
Unexpected Surprise… Evangelion Store!
Protest March outside of Harajuku Station
Area Surrounding Harajuku Station
So fun!!!
Kiddyland (surprisingly I bought nothing, kinda regret that now)
This was a very exhausting day for me, I still cant believe that I was there, and I feel like there was so much on my list that I missed. We even went back to Harajuku again before we left and its still on my list to go again when we return in 2015!
