  • Pretty quiet on a random Tuesday afternoon, but still photogenic~ There are many shrines in this complex, too. Plus a little museum. If you’re in the area, I would recommend going. If you are a stamp collector, as a forewarning it is looseleaf and in the same area as the museum (at least right now) As per usual, please be respectful when visiting. Especially since this a popular wedding spot. Randomly jumping into the couples photos really isn’t the way to go (as I saw some people doing while I was there).
  • I’ve been here a couple of times so far. Great place to take photos. Very nice shop to the left as you enter the grounds. I’m posting about the Bon Odori event. Had some food, watched the dancers and had an overall good time. There were a lot of people there. The staff did well with crowd control. If you get a chance, this event is something you do not want to miss. A great summer tradition to enjoy.
