Northeast of Roppongi Station lies a shrine more than 280 years old known as Hikawa Shrine. The walk from the station takes about 10 minutes. Even though it’s near Roppongi, the atmosphere is very calm and quiet. With many trees around the shrine, it was cool even during a mid-summer day. The shrine has yearly activities and festivals which gather many local participants.

Love to travel, meet people, and try new things. When you travel you meet new people, when you meet people, you learn new things. The world is limited but there isn't an end to what I can learn.
