【Meiji-Jingu Shrine】Tokyo, next to Yoyogi-park.

Last Sunday, 18, Feb. 2019

I visited Meiji-Jingu Shrine next to Yoyogi-park in Tokyo.

It was a fine day so I visited Meiji-Jingu Shrine for sightseeing, although my knee aches a little.

I'm thinking about joining JICA volunteer. So, I joined special briefing at near Yoyogi-station.

Actually, I have been thinking to join JICA volunteer for a long time. I think it might be a good chance, because my father passed away last year and now I don't have much worries now.

Anyway, I may add JICA-related things if I decide to apply JICA volunteer.

After JICA special brief, I went to Meiji-Jingu shurine.

First, I went to Meiji-Jinguu station and went to Jinguu-bridge( 神宮橋 )

Soon after that I could see Big Sacred Gateway (大鳥居 )。

Probably because it was very fine, there were a lot of people.

Although it's a winter, I could take a good picture because of fine weather.

I turned left and went to Meiji-Jingu Imperial Garden (明治神宮御苑).

This is Kaku-un-tei (隔雲亭), built for Japanese empress in the Meiji-period. f:id:asato418:20190219210249p:plain

This is well of Kiyomasa (Kiyomasa-no-Ido : 清正井)。It is said that Famous Japanese Samurai-Lord, Kiyomasa Kato digged this well.

Probably this is for foreign people. There is a few beautiful Kimono, and if requested, these Kimonos can be worn by anybody.

After that, I visited Takeshita-door I, Ramos Japanese fashion place for young people. As always, there were so many people, so I didn’t want to walk through the pathway. :)

Finally, I am on my way home from Harajuku station.
