Hi Steemit

The shrine in surrounded by natural forrest. It doesn't feel like we are in the busy area of Tokyo actually. Around 15 minutes walk until we reach the main shrine

It was a fun experience to visit the Meiji Shrine. The tradition is well preserved and the place is well maintained for people to see from generation to generation.
