Those who live in the western part of Tokyo often visit Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park and Omotesando area. I visited the area again to enjoy the shrine’s green and Omotesando’s busy shopping streets.
The shrine was crowded with foreign tourists. Many Chinese as well as westerners were there. It is summer holiday season.
The scene reminded me of the decision of the Japanese government to open its border for more Chinese tourists. The government on July 1st changed its border control rules, which enabled more Chinese tourists visit Japan without visa.
There was a wedding ceremony took place in the shrine. Many foreign tourists were taking pictures of a bride.
There were many votive tablets called “Ema” hung on several boards. Many wished were written in foreign languages.
A sports shop attracted more customers than usual at Omotesando Street. The Netherland beat Brazil last night in the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. They displayed the picture of Sneijder and other Dutch players in their large electronic panel. It was obvious that they quickly changed from (probably) Brazilian players.
I also visited Ukiyo-e Ota Memorial Museum of Art off Omotesando Street. They had a special exhibition of Hokusai’s famous “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”. “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” and other excellent pictures were displayed.
