Tokyo is amazing because in the midst of dense metropolis, there are these patches of lush greenery. For example, round a bend from the Harujuku subway station, and you find yourself in a green wooded area, en route to the Meiji Jinju shrine.
Sake barrels that have been brought to the shrine to be blessed.
Pictures from the Daimyo Gardens.
The Kiyomasa well is a warm springs that gushes to the earth without being pumped. The water is sweet to taste and supposedly has healing powers.
So much to see! And we haven't even gotten to the actual Meiji Jingu shrine yet...

Oh that's beautiful. I've always wanted to go to Japan. That grass looks so tempting to lay on or walk on with bare feet.
