2011 Day 6 Meiji Shrine, Harajuku & Shibuya

Matt:
Hello to Wisconsin! Last night we stayed at the youth hostel and it was very
nice. Not many people were there so we had a lot of the place to ourselves. We
were on the nineteenth floor which had a great view of the endless buildings and
skyscrapers.

This morning we travelled to the Meiji Shrine and walked through massive Torii
gates. We washed our hands and mouth before entering the shrine using cool
little wooden ladles. We also learned what to do when you pray in the shrine.明治神宮

We went to a popular street called Harajuku where one can buy a lot of trendy
clothes. A lot of workers picked us out as tourists and tried to sell us
clothes. Then we went to Shibuya which is a big city and popular spot in Tokyo
with a lot of tall buildings. It looks like Times Square! There was awesome food
and shopping in Shibuya. Now we are on the train to Yokohama where we will meet
our new host family!
