    Hatsomode at Shrine
    Visited on 2 January and was amazed by the amount of people visiting the shrine for new years! Even though it was crowded, it was still extremely beautiful with a wonderful stroll underneath the trees. Would recommend visiting after sunset if there is a market - the lanterns were lit up and truly changed the atmosphere to something more mythical. Returned a few days later for a photo shoot in traditional kimono attire.

    Nice experience
    Nice experience- glad we went. Don’t bother paying to go into the water pond area as half of it is under construction and it was annoying we had to pay for it. Otherwise a nice oasis in the centre of Tokyo.
