Tokyo - Meiji Shrine, Ginza, Cat cafe (Mocha Cafe) and Hachikō, the Akita dog ( And a Japanese Wedding)

Another hectic day in Tokyo - Hours pounding the pavements - Ginza and Gardens - Meiji Shrine and Mocha cat cafe





Hello Kitty - Sanrioworld Ginza


Just near Shibuya Crossing, an intersection which has become one of Tokyo's most manic and iconic sights.  This is a minority politician campaigning. 

 Kabuki Theatre - Ginza 












Hachikō's story became legendary and a statue was erected in his memory at the entrance of Shibuya Station.
Tokyo's most famous dog, Hachikō, the Akita dog came to Shibuya Station everyday to meet his master, a professor, returning from work.  

When the professor died in 1925, Hachikō kept coming to the station until his own death 10 years later.







 Lunch with our lovely friend Mr Yoshihiro - Tokyo guide


Meiji shrine - A peaceful sanctuary in the busy Tokyo city


Mocha Cat Cafe - Tokyo 











Takeshita Dori (Harajuku) 
Great for people watching Takeshita Dori is the Harajuku District and full of unique Japanese shops, Japanese Gothic and anime-style costumes.  It is a narrow laneway packed with randomness and creperies on almost every corner.
