Day 13 Sunday, November 24, 2019 Yokohama to Tokyo
Being a Sunday, being at a major shrine (Meiji), being that it was only a week past Shichi-Go-San, we knew this girl was 7 yrs old.
Why? Because Shichi-Go-San, which
means "Seven-Five-Three", is a traditional rite of passage and
festival day in Japan for three- and seven-year-old girls and
five-year-old boys, held annually on November 15 to celebrate the growth
and well-being of young children. There were so many little girls and boys dressed
up so cutely.
Besides visiting this Meiji Shrine, we saw a little of Yokohama in the morning, drove the 30 minutes into downtown Tokyo, visited major shopping areas, drove through colorful neighborhoods, walked around Tokyo Station, saw the Imperial Palace, and finished at Nakamise Shopping Street and Asakusa Kannon Temple. We then went to our massive hotel, but the rooms were still tiny!
