Day 8: Imperial Palace East Garden & Shibuya

First Stop: Imperial Palace East Garden

The Imperial Palace is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings.












Nijubashi













Here comes the Royal Carriage sans the Royalties. Serendipity! What a rare opportunity to catch this sight.



Guard House: In the olden days, visitors to the Imperial Palace had to be searched here before entering the Palace.



















Second Stop: Shibuya

Not to be missed Hachiko. I'm always moved no matter the number of times I've heard the story.

Busiest crossing in Shibuya. The best place to enjoy this scene is the Starbucks at QFront.











Zara, Zara everywhere we go. Oh, not forgetting H&M too.


These tulips are the real stuff. No colour treatment for the picture, this is exactly how vibrant the colour is.


Who says mannequin has to wear clothes? Paint one.
