Next stop Tokyo, Japan.  Rumour has it that the Meiji Shrine had traditional  wedding ceremonies every weekend.

So off I go onto the Yamanote line getting off at Harujuku Station. The park containing the Meiji Shrine is immediately adjacent to the station. It is interesting how the two extremes of Japanese fashion, Harujuku girls and kimino clad girls are right next door to each other.

And the rumour was correct. There appeared to be a wedding party every 30 -40 minutes. All lining up like ducks in a row.

With the variety of different coloured kimonos it was more like a tray of sushi. My camera couldn’t stop clicking…..
