In the middle of Tokyo you can find a sizable forest known as the Imperial Gardens. Michelle and I were fortunate enough to both visit the Imperial Gardens and view the greenery from above. We experienced an awesome view from atop the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The green contrasts against the concrete jungle beautifully.
The Meiji Shrine Inner Garden (明治神宮内苑 Meiji Jingū Naien) or Yoyogi Gyoen is a public garden adjacent to Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park in Shibuya, Tokyo. The garden was once part of the suburban residences of Katō Kiyomasa and later the Ii clan during the Edo period. During the Meiji period, the garden came under the supervision of the Imperial Household Agency and named Yoyogi Gyoen (Yoyogi Imperial Garden) and was frequently visited by Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. The garden contains a tea house, an arbour, a fishing stand and an iris garden. It has an area of 83,000 square meters and is open to the public throughout the year. wikipedia
Shrine Sake Barrels
At the Meiji Jingu Shrine, you can find decorative Sake Barrels.
The Japanese call them kazaridaru and their purpose is to give honor to the gods.
