The torii gates at the entrance of the Meji Shrine |
At the torii gate entrance |
A Shinto service (I think) |
The entrance to the Meji Shrine |
Similar to performing ablutions in Islam, before you pray at the shrine you are supposed to wash your face and hands |
I saw a host of people dressed up in costumes taking pictures in the park in Odaiba |
A great example of modern Japanese architecture |
Odaiba was full of interesting buildings, this one was a part of a tunnel for pedestrians to cross the street |
A beautiful ferris wheel on the island |
Venus Fort: the entire mall has a fake sky and is lit so it resembles twilight throughout the day |
The famous Fuji building: the ball in the center houses a restaurant and an observation deck |
Flame of Freedom: but personally it reminded me of an organism we learned about in biology called a sea pen |
The island even features a replica of the Statue of Liberty |
Defies explanation |
Just to show you how large the statue was, you can see an office building and a Ferris wheel in the background |
These pictures are awesome! I love seeing just how unique the city is. And I definitely lol'ed when you wrote "A Shinto service (I think)." Keep posting please!
