Japan lifted the state of emergency on March 21 but has implemented measures for preventing the spread of Covid-19 effective as of April 12. This means that nothing has changed since this January for people in Tokyo. They're no longer under the state of emergency but are still strongly urged to stay at home unless for essential reasons. So, last Saturday (April 10), i.e., after the lifting of the state of emergency and immediately before the measures coming into force, I went to
Hie Jinja shrine in Akasaka, Tokyo.

The shrine is in the center of Central Tokyo, but few people were there as I'd expected. Ordinary Japanese people go to temples and shrines only on New Year's days.
It was a beautiful sunny day with the blue sky. A tunnel of vermilion torii gates in the shrine is far shorter than tunnels in
Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine, but enjoyable enough for me to go through😉!
