On our quest to find some delicious and steamy tonkotsu ramen after a long day at Disney Sea, we stumbled across Hanazono Jinja Shrine in Shinjuku. The temperatures dropped to around 0 degrees celcius and I believe my ears were hurting from the cold, hence the awesome Minnie Mouse hat. Hanazono Jinja Shine is a tranquil place hidden amongst the bustle of the city where I’m sure many would come to reflect and find peace. We did get to witness a few locals come to pay their respects and watched on curiously as they rang the bells and clapped as part of their custom.
