This shot was taken at the Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo’s must-see sites. In the middle of a fast-paced, endlessly sprawling city like Tokyo, full of high-rises and crowds, entering the wooden gate that leads you to the Meiji Shrine through tall forest trees, without a building in sight anywhere, is a magical feeling. It’s a reprieve from the chaos and inundation of the outside world.
