Wedding at Meiji Shrine
While wandering in the Harajuku district of Tokyo, I entered Yoyogi Park. The entrance lies in the trees behind and slightly to the west of the Harajuku Station. Luck was with me as I was able to witness an entire traditional Japanese wedding ritual.

Shibuya Fashion Sense
Fashion in Shibuya Japan was completely enthralling. I had to force myself to leave so I could see the rest of Japan. Harajuku is just a few minutes walk from here. I know you guys like these fashion shots. That’s why I am including them from time to time.
The Old and the New
In Kamakura Japan, the old met the new in sharp contrast.

Kimono Drummer Girl
While strolling the streets of Shibuya in Japan, I came across this woman in a kimono playing the drum. The nightlife in Shibuya is amazing. If you stand still, the crowds will move you in one direction or another.
Ginza Begging Monk
I had left the Tokyo train station and was walking in Ginza to see Kabuki when I found this begging monk.
Baby Doll Hello Kitty
While staying in Nikko, Japan, it began to rain. This put a stop to our touring for the afternoon. We then got on the train and headed to Otsegu to shop for clothes and souvenirs. On the train, I found this young lady dressed like Little Bo Peep in a baby doll outfit.

“Nisei Ichi”

Kamakura DancerIn the city of Kamakura, which is south of Tokyo, I visited the Annual Festival at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine Mikoshi. During this time, portable shrines are carried and horseback archery performed before spectators. On the Ritual Dance Stage inside the precincts, Japanese dancing is performed. Also, the Shinko Festival takes place with a trio of portable shrines and procession of divine horses. (Photos coming up. One per day.)
