Meiji Jingu Shrine

“Meiji Jingu. Built in commemoration of Emperor Meiji in 1920, is Tokyo’s grandest shrine. Like all of Japan’s major shrines, it’s large in scale but simple in structure, entered via a winding path and through a giant torii gate. On summer weekends you have a very good chance of catching a Japanese wedding in progress here; the shrine is also packed on New Year’s Eve when people come here to celebrate the new year”

Opposite the wine barrels are a whole lot of rice wine barrels. HAH. Weird. This is along the walkway towards the Shrine. Hee.
