ช่วงเช้าพักจากเดินทางทั้งคืน ใกล้เที่ยง/เที่ยง หรือ บ่าย เมื่อทุกคนพร้อมก็ไปเดินเล่นตามนี้ (คงไปได้ไม่หมดหรอก เก็บข้อมูลไว้ให้เลือกกัน)
1.
Meiji-Jingu (明治神宮)
Meiji Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of
Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR
Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi
Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city. The
spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a relaxing
stroll.

Emperor Meiji was the first emperor of
modern Japan. He was born in 1852 and ascended to the throne in 1867 at the
peak of the Meiji Restoration when Japan's feudal era came to an end and the
emperor was restored to power.
During the Meiji Period, Japan modernized and
westernized herself to join the world's major powers by the time Emperor Meiji
passed away in 1912.
The main complex of shrine buildings
is located a ten minute walk from both the southern entrance near Harajuku
Station and the northern entrance near Yoyogi Station. Entry into the shrine
grounds is marked by a massive torii gate,
after which the sights and sounds of the busy city are replaced by a tranquil
forest. The approximately 100,000 trees that make up Meiji Jingu's forest were
planted during the shrine's construction and were donated from regions across
the entire country.

Meiji Jingu is one of the Japan's most
popular shrines. In the first days of the New Year,
the shrine regularly welcomes more than three million visitors for the year's
first prayers (hatsumode), more than any other shrine or temple in
the country. During the rest of the year, traditional Shinto weddings can often
be seen taking place there.

A large area of the southern section of the
shrine grounds is taken up by the Inner Garden, which requires an
entrance fee to enter. The garden becomes particularly popular during the
middle of June when the irises are in bloom. A small well located within the
garden, Kiyomasa's Well, is named after a military commander who dug it around
400 years ago. The well was visited by the Emperor and Empress while they were
alive and has become a popular spiritual "power spot".

Omotesando
Referred to as Tokyo's Champs-Elysees, Omotesando is a one kilometer long, tree lined avenue, serving as the main approach to Meiji Shrine. Numerous stores, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, including several leading fashion brand shops, stand along the avenue. This area generally caters to an older and wealthier clientele than Takeshita Dori.
