Impressions
I had forgotten how peaceful and relaxing it is at the Meji Shrine.  The temple feels like a “real” temple.   It was pretty empty there when we went so that probably added to the feeling there.   Unlike the Senso-Ji Temple in Asakusa, the Meji Shrine area feels a lot less commercial.

The nicer weather convinced us to visit Harajiku again.  Well more because it’s right next to the Meji Shrine.  I’ve never seen so many combination of fashionable outfits.  Every single person there was expressing their own fashion statement, although some made me question their tastes.  One thing I didn’t notice last time was people coloring their faces in the name of fashion.  My favorite outfit was a combination of a french maid and Little Bo Peep outfit.
