One of the most popular tourist sight for in Tokyo is the Meiji Jingu Shrine.
There are lots of people especially on weekend so I recommend walking in early morning.

1.From Harajuku station to Minami-Sando

We can get to Torii (the gate of shrine) from Harajuku station about 1 minute on foot. DSCF2776.jpg

This is the Kiyomasa's Well. It looks pure and fresh but not for drinking. DSCF2825.jpg
