Day 4:Harajuku/Meiji Shrine:
Meiji Shrine is located just outside Harajuku station. The shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920 and was destroyed in the WWII, but rebuilt shortly after. This shrine, unlike the temple is for the Shinto religion. Despite many of the practices are similar, they are actually 2 different religion here in Japan.
After visiting Meiji Shrine, you may wish to drop by Harajuku. In Harajuku, there's both shopping for the teenagers and adults. Fortunately enough, there was a wedding held at Meiji Shrine when I was visiting the shrine. It's really an eye opener to witness a local Japanese wedding!
