This week we're featuring a photo journal of our favorite 15 minute walk. I'll take you through part of one of the largest parks in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park. This is not a nature walk, though. This walk, like Tokyo, is all about people (and dog) watching!
There's a very traditional Shinto Shrine just outside the southwest end of the park, which is where we'll begin our walk. We climb stairs and cross under torii to enter the grounds of the Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine. It's small but lovely, and we happened to catch a glimpse of a Japanese marriage ceremony.
