You enter Tokyo through a forest gate — the broad wooden torii of Meiji Jingu frames a hush of cedar and the distant hum of the city. Steps away, Harajuku spills bright textiles and bold street styles; later the pulse of Shibuya Crossing presses the soles of your shoes as thousands cross in choreographed disorder. This is a day that moves from the quiet of shrine grounds to the kinetic energy of modern Tokyo.
