No More Rain

While it most certainly is not sunny, there was very little rain yesterday so we thought it would be good to head to Yoyogi Park and to the bigest Shinto temple in the area, it may well be the biggest in Japan.

The walk from Harajuku station to the temple was suitably grand. The trees were massive and making a ruckus up and down the long path. I had imagined it with less tourists but I gues that would be hypocritical going on a Saturday and being a tourist. I tried to omit most of them in my pictures. Luckily there wasn't a fat American kid going 'daddy, daddy I wanna play Nintendo', that would of really interrupted my calm.

It was lovely though, It wasn't difficult to put it in a more serene setting. We also saw a traditional wedding.

After this we passed by all the morons outside Harajuku station again and walked through the city. We then went to UT to get Ando a t-shirt from the best t-shirt shop ive ever seen!

UT, UNIQLO in Harajuku

Behind all the Otaku and goth kids Harajuku is incredibly hip and really quite awesome. We decided to try a crepe from the constantly busy crepe stalls. I couldn't do it justice trying to describe it, Maria will no doubt be much better.

We stopped off at Shibuya for an hour before heading home but didn't really get a chance to sample it properly. Its similar to Shinjuku but slightly less intense.
