Went to Meiji Park today, and the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine, and we were very grateful for the shade offered by the woodland that surrounds it. At the shrine, in the inner courtyard, there was a display of twenty or so bonsai trees of varying ages. The oldest one there appeared to be this specimen, a mere 300 years old! This was the first time I'd seen so many bonsai trees together in one place. If you are interested in getting away from the urban bustle of #Harakuju, then Meiji Jingu is the place to go.
