Today, when I walked from Yoyogi to Harajuku, I did not go by my usual route along the Meiiji-dōri. Instead, I turned slightly west and into the part of the Yoyogi park with the Meiji-jingū. So I went down the Kita-sandō and Minami-sandō and walked by several large torii of the Meiji shrine, the largest one I show here. It stands at the entrance to the inner precinct with the actual shrine and treasure museum. Note the Imperial Seals of Japan (the golden chrysanthemum) on the gate.
