Shrine to a Frozen Metropolis

In any culture, locals sharing with us the sacred is very special. We had a guide today in Tokyo that taught us the Shinto sacred ceremony of entering his favorite shrine (called omiori). We also got to witness a shinto wedding and various other rites.
Being able to immerse in a culture for me involves sharing what locals love (great food and very strange sweets), their rituals and overwhelming attention to detail in all walks of life…
I had a great run on the Imperial Palace grounds, which are mostly closed to the public except a small garden, but there were hundreds of runners defying the cold Saturday morning along with me.
