After our time on Takeshita Street, we caught up with the parade at Meiji-jingu Shrine. The Shrine is a Shinto shrine. Shinto is called Japan's ancient, original religion. The road leading to the Shrine had wine barrels on one side (a gift from France) and the other side had sake barrels (from different distilleries in Japan). The miniature temple floats were beautiful. The floats were carried by many people and preformed a dance routine. We enjoyed a walk through the gardens, stopped at a pond to admire the fish, dipped our hands into the bubbling Kiyomasa well to bring us good luck. Enjoy the photos and a couple of short video clips.
