Meiji Shrine and Forest-Tokyo Day 4

The Meiji Shrine was built for the first emperor of modern Japan and his empress. There is over 100,000 trees from all over the world that they planted in the surrounding forest that leads up to this shrine. It was beautiful and a great finish to our Tokyo trip. We decided to take our last day easy with pool time at our hotel, then we hit a Toy Store that had trains and cars (Chase is still talking about), and then after the shrine we went to Outback Steakhouse. We ate some great food while we were in Tokyo(Mexican, Italian, Korean, and American), which was so nice cause we are kind of limited here in Misawa when it comes to good restaurants.
Entrance to the forest. This was a huge Tori.
