Japanese Wedding at Meiji Jingu | 明治神宮裏的日式婚禮

I went to Harajuku for Christmas and New Year gifts for my daughters last day morning of my last Tokyo trip. Before shopping, I would like to visit Meiji Jingu, not too much about spiritual stuff but more about sightseeing (Red leaves) and continue morning walk in Ueno Park.

對上次在東京回香港前，我一大早跑到原宿去找禮物給女兒們。購物前，我到了明治神宮。主要的目的並不是想參拜，反而是想繼續我在上野公園.的朝早散步和看看有沒有紅葉可以觀賞。

There were red leaves along the way to the Shrine.

在途中果然有紅葉景色。

Taking photos of people cleaning themselves became a must for me.

我每次都愛拍攝人們潔淨自己的場面。

When I walked passed the main gate of Meiji Jingu, I saw a group of people walked across in front of the Honden. There were staffs of the Jingu running around, clearing the way for that group of people.

當我步入神宮正門之際，我發現在一群人正慢步行過本殿前面。而神宮的工作人員亦忙於管理人群，好讓大隊通行。

Bride and groom were led by priest of the Jingu, followed by friends and relatives of them. The whole group then walked slowly back to the hall next to the Jingu, the Kaguraden. I believed this was the first traditional Japaense wedding I encountered.

新朗新娘在神宮的神官帶領下走著，他們的親戚朋友都跟隨其後。最後大伙兒慢慢進入旁邊的會堂, 神樂殿。沒有記錯的過，這是第一個的日本式婚禮。

After the couple entered the Kaguraden, I walked around. I realized there were other couples taking wedding photos in Meiji Jingu. I counted 4 pairs of couples, maybe more. I guessed that day was good for wedding!
