Today, we found ourselves visiting Yoyogi Park in Harajuku. Since it was late spring, it was fantastic to see the trees all came back with fluffy new leaves. The spring green colour made me wonder how wonderful this park would be in autumn when the maple leaves all turn red at the same time.

While on our way leaving Meiji Jingu Shrine, we were greeted by the Hachiko Bus.
