There are wine kegs displayed at the outer entrance to the Shrine. Wine barrels on the left,
Sake (Japanese rice wine) kegs on the right,
The Shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. It is a popular place for traditional Japanese wedding ceremony.
A yellow Corvette on the street in Harajuku.
Crepes look delicious. Each piece is about 450yen (~$5).
Ometesando Hills, a collection of high end stores.
We have Donkatsu (Pork cutlet) lunch at Meisen. We came across Meisen by accident during our last trip to Tokyo in 2007. It was so good that later I found out its Donkatsu was ranked number 2 in Tokyo.
Tree lined walkway near Meiji Shrine outer garden, a popular place for scenes from Japanese TV episodes.
Spider sculpture at Roppongi Hills, outside the Roppongi metro station.
You can see the Tokyo Tower from Roppongi Hills.
Wako department store is the one of the most exclusive stores in Ginza, and the building is the landmark of Ginza. The building was built in 1930 and survived the World Wall II.
We had Yakiniku grill buffet for dinner. You order the drinks and food by press the electronic pen on the button next to your selections on the menu. The waiter will deliver them to your table. They do not speak much English and there is no English menu. I am glad I had a few Japanese language lessens before. The drink menu:
and the grill:
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we had fun in our trip.
