Japan - The month of adventure

We started off at the Meiji Shrine in Harujuku today. The shrine is surrounded by an amazing garden and has a massive Tori gate. The shrine its self was very nice and we were lucky enough while we were there to see a Shinto wedding in progress. After eating lunch there (ramen) for the low low price of 600 yen, we hit the pavement again walking throuhg the many fashion stores in Harajuku.

We grabbed a couple of burgers for dinner at a really nice side street place and then headed back to the hotel to pack as we leave tomorrow, but never fear we will be back in Tokyo later!
