    Hiking

    🍷 The wine barrels in Meiji-jingu Park come from France, specifically from renowned Burgundy wineries. They were presented to the shrine as a symbolic donation and stand opposite the traditional sake barrels from Japanese breweries.

    🎌 What do they represent?
    - The wine barrels symbolize Japan's cultural opening to the Western world during the Meiji period.
    - They are a symbol of friendship between Japan and France, particularly in the context of culinary culture and diplomacy.
    - Like the sake barrels, they are decorative barrels (飾り樽, kazaridaru) – empty and purely symbolic.

    A beautiful wall of sake barrels makes for an extremely attractive photo opportunity. Directly opposite is another wall of wooden wine barrels.
