Harajuku


Last weekend I visited Harajuku. Mainly to see the vegetarian and Indian fairs there but I ended up spending more time visiting the Meiji shrine in Yayogi park.


While I was there, a Shinto wedding ceremony was taking place. The procession had a really ethereal quality, like a procession of spirits. But getting married at Meiji shrine has its downside as you can expect to be photographed by dozens of foreign tourists. (Like me)




After checking out the fairs, I wandered over to Shibuya to engage in more staring at pretty lights.

Also, there was a V6 (Japanese boy band) concert being held in Harajuku so the concentration of young Japanese fan girls was quite overwhelming. The number of ticket scalpers by the station was amusing though.
