I saw a massive swathe of people walking along a pathway in Tokyo, so I followed them. After a slow 30 min walk, I ended up at the Meija shrine. The interesting thing wasn’t the shrine itself, but the incredible behaviour of the crowd. Thousands of people all walked in beautiful unison along the path, with no pushing or attempts to cut in line. It was an incredible thing to see and a beautiful example of differences between Japanese culture and my own.
