Palace.

I went out to the Imperial Palace in the morning – of course I never got the chance to step into the area where the Japanese Emperor lives, but the garden which is opened to public is good enough for me. The garden was really beautiful, and it was great to have such a big piece of greenery in such a big city like Tokyo.

After the Imperial Palace, I headed over to Harajuku for the Meiji Shrine. I was actually supposed to have gone to the Shrine the last time I was in Tokyo, but somehow contrived to have forgotten all about it. Anyway the Shrine was pretty much like all the others that I’ve seen in my two trips to Japan so far, so it wasn’t really like completely astonishing to me. But it’s still good to visit somewhere that’s authentically Japanese.

In the evening I went to Odaiba for the night view of the Rainbow Bridge. I saw it in the day before, and the night view was really quite stunning. I hope the next time I come to Tokyo again, I could be with someone I love, sitting at Odaiba and watch the Rainbow Bridge with the Tokyo Tower behind it in its grandeur at night!

Heading to Yokohama tomorrow, hope it will be fun.
