Meiji Shrine

After our serene little interval in the Imperial
Garden we were deemed good to go and toured the National Museum and the Edo/Tokyo History Museum before a late
lunch.
In mid-afternoon we visited the very popular Meiji Shrine. It’s a huge place, so the fact that this was
National Culture Day, and it is customary for families to bring five-year-old boys and seven-year-old girls, beautifully
dressed in National costumes, to the most significant historic sites in Japan on
weekends or holidays in November, only added to the enchantment and there was
plenty of space for all of us.
