Photos of Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, Ginza and Akihabara. Click on the links for more on Flickr.

What I thought was part of the Meiji Shrine complex in Harajuku…

But not.

Here is the Tori Gate at the entrance of the real Meiji Shrine.

The couryard in front of the shrine.

The main shrine building.

Harajuku station with the Meiji complex on the left and the random place I went to originally somewhere in the top right.

Sunday in Ginza where the streets are closed and people can walk freely.

Ginza even has foreign entertainment! Fancy.

While not the tour book advertised cafe lifestyle spilling onto the street it does feature chairs. Chairs!

Returning to Ginza.

The Sony Building. The showroom is the corner on the right of the mural.

A funky looking building and older style lamp post.

“Quil fait bon” – best cake ever.

Akihabara with the streets closed to traffic.

Festival activity in the streets of Akihabara.

Festival goers carrying shrine?

More of the festival atmosphere.
