In the Meiji Jingu garden is an iris bed, set in a water fed marsh/mud, with #Japanese pond #turtles swimming around in the channels that delimit the plantings. The #iris garden cost 3€ to enter, which is just to help pay the upkeep of that particular area of the park. The irises flower in June, and were quite simply magnificent. #Butterflies and #dragonflies were flitting and fluttering around. A real gem in my book. We also went and visited a well that was captured in the #Edo period, and a small lake brimming with water lilies.

Picture of a long necked Japanese pond turtle swimming in a water channel. The turtle almost entirely fills the width of the channel.

Picture of clumps of marsh iris in flower, with purple, white and mixtures of the two represented.

Picture of what looks to be a blue bodied chaser or darter dragonfly resting on a board set across the flow of water from one flower bed to the next.

Picture of red and white water lilies in flower on a pond.

Went to Meiji Park today, and the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine, and we were very grateful for the shade offered by the woodland that surrounds it. At the shrine, in the inner courtyard, there was a display of twenty or so bonsai trees of varying ages. The oldest one there appeared to be this specimen, a mere 300 years old! This was the first time I'd seen so many bonsai trees together in one place. If you are interested in getting away from the urban bustle of #Harakuju, then Meiji Jingu is the place to go.

A view of a grassy field at Meiji Jingu, full of pale blue and lavender irises in bloom. The field is hemmed in by tall trees on either side; visitors walk along a curving path, admiring the flowers. Above, a pair of birds wheel in a bright blue sky.

Memories of last month's visit to #Tokyo. While the trip was pretty much ruined by me getting the flu (boooh!), I still have some lovely memories.

Especially walking through Yoyogi Park on my way down to Shibuya. I was so lucky with the weather! ☀️

A phot of a Torii gate at the entrance to the Meiji Jingu shrine in Tokyo, Japan. A long gravel path in the foreground leads to the imposing wooden grate, all surrounded by leafy green trees. Blue skies above and some sunshine too.

I took this at the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine in Shibuya. I saw this type of elevated threshold a lot when I was in China. Two things I was told were that it is disrespectful to step on it and that it is there to keep out evil spirits.

I took this at the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine in Shibuya. Tokyo was super hot that day, and I was guzzling Pocari Sweat to get through the shrine's grounds.

A shinto gate (Torii) at one of my favorite Shinto Shrines in the world, Tokyo Meiji Jingu. I've been there several times and on different occasions and it's always amazing.
