From June to mid-July when a wet, warm and humid climate dominates, trees in the forest surrounding the Meiji Shrine seem to thrive more than ever.

The vast 700,000 square-meter forest has so many trees, 120,000 of them to be exact.  It is said that 365 different species of evergreen trees were donated by people from all over Japan when the shrine was established.  It was such a refreshing experience to walk under these trees in the misty rain.
