Meiji-Jingu Shrine & NY Grill

Nov. 2

It was a day-off.

I went to Meiji-Jingu Shrine.

It was the first time I had come here since 50 years ago, even though I pass over neighborhood by metro every day.

I felt very holy atmosphere after past the big shrine gate.

I approached the main hall through deep forest.

I couldn’t believe that I was in the central city of Tokyo.

A lot of casks of sake were dedicated as well as the ancient way.

Surprise! Surprise!

A lot of casks of Burgundy wine were dedicated, two.

The guideboard says, because the Meiji Emperor likes wine very much, the wine casks are dedicated.

I didn’t know that.

The name tag of Romanee Conti was left away.

Some bad guy might steal it.

What a sinfulness!

The mail hall looked so glory.

I also enjoyed to see beautiful colored leaves.

After the shrine visit, I went to New York Grill at Park Hyatt Tokyo and had a gorgeous lunch accidently.
