Lilly pond at Meiji-jingu-neien
Churches, Temples & Mosques in Tokyo picture - The lillies on the shrine grounds were in bloom while we were there in June. They were planted by Empress Shoken, wife of Emperor Meiji. As you can see, the garden grounds are very peaceful, particularly on weekday mornings when they are practically deserted! The pond also contains many large goldfish and a few turtles.
