A DAY OF MEDITATION IN MEIJI SHRINE, TOKYO

The Holmes visit Meiji Shrine, Tokyo
The Holmes Family continues the Japanese tour and they’ve visited a very especial place in Tokyo, Meiji Shrine. This sacred place is a beautiful site plenty of Peace, nature and perfect to relax.

This place is dedicated to the Emperor Meiji and his Empress Shoken. The buildings are made out of Japanese cypress and cooper and were completed in 1922, although they were rebuilt after the Second World War. In this forest, you can find many different varieties of tree from all over Japan, donated when the shrine was being built.

During the tour, The Holmes have taken lots of photos and have recorded the place inch by inch to keep it in their memories when they return to Barcelona.

It has been an interesting trip and they’re resting now because, tomorrow they’re invited to Yutaka Takenouchi’s party. They have a special present for him: a small reproduction of Park Güell’s Salamander made by Antoni Gaudí, an object very popular between Japanese people.

 Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon
Experience the beauties of nature,
and in doing so learn about yourself.
