Meiji Jingu is a shinto shrine built in 1920 to honour the Meiji emperor and empress.
A huge forests with a mix of trees donated from all prefectures of Japan cover the area, at the begining there were 100.000 trees planted but these donations has been projected along the times.
It is very visited and many weddings take place there.

This time I went up to the skytree, amazing view and even more amazing the queue to pick up the tickets.
The "disguise" of the staff is a mix of "le petit prince" and "folkloric korean women clothes" with a touch of "Circus".
It is worthy to consider. And in my opinion is a deference with so many tourists from neighbours countries such as Korea and China. (The folkloric korean clothes are probably close to Chinese also, I have never been in China continental and it is not on my plans to go but considering the vicinity maybe also similar). By the way I enjoyed very much Korean folklore, I did a clip two years ago.
