Day 7 Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Shibuya

By Mallory

Today, we woke up from our night at the youth hostel, which was interesting because there were a lot of multi-cultural people. We packed up our bags and cleaned our rooms and jumped onto a train and went to Meiji shrine.

At Meiji shrine, we read people's wooden prayer tablet and then prayed ourselves. The entire area was heavily forested and very peaceful.





After Meiji shrine, we walked down the hill and headed into Harajuku. Harajuku was liked with clothing and other various accessories, it was a bit sketchy. We hopped back onto a train afterward and headed to Shibuya. We all paid to have made a personalized Hanko, which is a personal seal with our names on them.

Shibuya was another shopping area so I spent the day roaming around and looking through various stores. I also stumbled upon an Alice in Wonderland fantasy cafe which was very pretty, and all the waitresses were dressed as Alice!
