On our first day in Tokyo (pre-hike) we saw the Sensoji Shrine and the Meiji Temple in Harajuku. We also enjoyed people-watching, with Japanese women wearing a much more feminine attire than we typically see in the states - nearly everyone in dresses, and many carrying parasols as well. I'll be writing about some of that for my work blog soon ... in the meantime, here are some of the sights:
On the way into the Sensoji Shrine
Pagoda
Getting a fortune
Breathing in incense before entering the shrine
Washing before entering the shrine
The Sensoji Shrine
Headed to the Meiji Temple
We weren't the only ones posing for pictures
Prayers hung around the tree
For our Sun Devil readers: Sparky made the trip to Japan with me as a favor to Alison, who now works for the ASU Alumni Association. You can see his Japan pics and others from Sparky's Summer Break here.

I don't see Sparky's photos on the alumni page yet ... must see them now!
They are there! You'll just see one, but if you wait they rotate through like a slideshow.
