Tokyo Station

Tokyo station

Tokyo Station, the main entrance to Tokyo, opened in 1872.

And the current station building was completed in 1914.

Although Tokyo is the most modern city in Japan, Tokyo Station is the most retro station in Japan.

Meiji Shrine

A shrine built in 1920 to worship Emperor Meiji and Empress Meiji.

It is the largest shrine in Tokyo.

At that time, 100,000 trees were donated, and botanical experts designed the shrine to become a natural forest over a period of 200 years.

After 100 years, the average height of the trees is about 20 m.

After another 100 years, the average height will be 30 m.

The soup, a mix of soy sauce and pork bone broth, was very tasty.
