Hi,
Today was a busy program, woke up early again to spot some Sumo wrestlers. I had not a lot of hope to see them, but you never know. First went to the Kasugano stable, should be one of the most famous:
Again no luck to enter the different stables, but all of a sudden we saw one:
Took some pictures and walk by him, but there was no contact as the wrestler was minding his business.
We went on and checking the rest of the district, it is a real nice and quite district in Tokyo.
The stadium, were all the sumo games in Tokyo are held. Next time i have to make sure i plan my trip, to watch a game.
After an hour we took the train to Yokohama, the next destination for today. On the train station in Yokohama we saw a contest of Ikebana. The guy with the flowers on his head was funny as everybody was laughing about his comments.
We wandered through Yokohama, from the station to china town.
On the way we saw a lot of street musicians and artist doing all kind of things and there was a market for donation to third world countries.
After walking for almost an hour we arrived at Chinatown, which was quite nice. The main gate to Chinatown.
And in the center of Chinatown a temple.
After the visit, we took the subway to Yokohama train station and there again I saw the lines, waiting for the subway to come, really nice!!
From Yokohama station we went to Harajuku, first to visit the Meiji shrine, which is dedicated to the emperor Meiji and his wife.
After watching the ceremony, we went to the park and watched some Japanese rock and roll guys :).
Further into Harajuku it was very crowded as far as the eye could see.
One typical thing of Harajuku are the dressed people all over the district, but it is less than a couple of years ago.
In the evening we went to Shibuya, like Shinjuku lots of neon lights and very crowded. On the way to cross over near Shibuya station we came a cross a popular pop group that were introducing themselves. A lot of people (mostly men) where watching.
Finally arriving at the center of Shibuya where a lot of people walk by :).
Cheers

On Sundays i guess it is a special day as there were a lot of weddings going on. I must say it was a pleasure to watch these rituals because it is nothing as I have seen before.
