A quick visual entry about shrines. These are not typical 'shrines', of the Buddhist or Shinto variety, but they seem to be shrines none-the-less. Let me know what you think.
Garden of Nezu Museum
8th floor of Tea building near Shinjuku station
Omotesando shop display
Prada Building Omotesando
Tod Building (right) not sure of other Omotesando
Coffee express Omotesando
The Aoyama district has Omotesando which alternately looks like Paris with a wide tree lined boulevard and chic individuals wafting down the street (more of that later) and the side and back streets that alternatively look like Santa Monica...yeah really. It's beginning to look more sci-fi everyday with its contrasts and what seem to be the fascination of the populace.
Then there are lines of people here and there on this boulevard or wrapping around the narrow back streets.... Living near the bakery that sells cronuts- this summer's food phenom (it really made me cranky) I have this morbid wonder about lining up for something, aside from a ticket to ride somewhere. Well, it's really popular here – lining up. There were 3 long lines when I visited: 1 for a pancake house, 1 for a popcorn shop (uh huh) and 1 for a Scandinavian (think Ikea meets Marimeko housewares and accessories shop. All within a few blocks of each other. I guess anything can be a sport these days.....?
