Next to Yoyogi Park is the most popular Shrine in Japan. The Meiji Shrine was built for the Emperor and Empress that modernized Japan. We visited the garden area first which has a tea house, coy pond, iris garden, etc. There is a special spot where the spring water comes up in a barrel, and we stood in line a long time to get a picture of it. I think they consider it to be highest quality of water and also to be a spiritual power spot. The Shrine had gorgeous architecture.
Adam has been relocated to work on a project for Nissan in Japan. We will be here July 2010 through July 2011. Hannah and I are excited to be able to go along for the adventure! CHANGE OF PLANS! Earthquake of 3/11/11 has sent Hannah and I home for good, and Adam will have to finish his project with business trips.
