We went to Meiji Shrine, but it was closed because it's a holiday. We still enjoyed the park🌲🌳💮⁕ a lot since it's much bigger than normal parks. I think Japan's weather is really nice at this time and felt like the air quality was much better in Tokyo compared to Seoul...
Can we bottle this wonderful air and bring it to Seoul...?
Old trees that looked like at least a few hundred years old.
Japanese gardens are indeed beautiful!

Don't remember the name of this place, but some parts were under construction.

Praying for their wishes to come true.
Somewhere in Harajuku
I've heard of Harajuku many times and decided to lunch there since it's very close to the shrine. We found an American-themed restaurant with many toys...

I think it was about 1000 yen for one plate. They were So-so.
Having been stressed out from the job, I've decided to quit and take a break. Originally, I wanted to go to Germany since my friend is living there, but the flight ticket scared me a little bit (We really need Elon Musk to build cheap underground transpotation between E. Asia and Europe :P )
So I joined my friend on a trip to Shanghai, which turned out to be quite fun! I took a lot of photos in the beautiful Yuyuan Garden, so enjoy!
Signs like this on the wall fascinated me! They were encased with glass and had a lot of intricate details which I think are depicting the scenery around the park a long time ago.
These giant rocks were everywhere in the park - I wonder if they were created by volcanic eruptions or carried from somewhere else.
I loved these gates! They look really fun to walk in and make you see things differently.
