Harajuku and Meiji Jingu Shrine

Harajuku has a reputation as one of the fashion capitals of the world, and has gained some renown for it's particular style. Not far from the Harajuku metro stop is Jingu Bridge, leading to the Meiji Jingu shrine. I was told it's a happening spot for cosplayers and street performers, although there weren't too many to be found during my visit.
Then the shrine itself. Photos of the actual inside of the shrine are not permitted.
The above barrels of ceremonial wine were a gift from France.


Finally, I think I need to just post this clip I filmed from in front of a department store with as little explanation as possible.
