Description

Discover Tokyo’s vibrant mix of energy, tradition, and spirituality on this guided walking tour. Begin at the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where your guide shares hidden stories of how Shibuya became a global cultural hub. Continue into Takeshita Street in Harajuku, filled with quirky shops, cafés, and colorful sweets, where you’ll feel the playful side of youth culture. Next, step into the peaceful grounds of Meiji Shrine, Tokyo’s most important Shinto sanctuary. Here, your guide will teach you the authentic Shinto prayer rituals — from the proper way to bow and clap to making an offering. You’ll then take part in a unique cultural moment: writing your own wish on an ema (wooden plaque) and dedicating it at the shrine, just as locals do when praying for love, success, or happiness. This interactive element transforms your visit into a personal and spiritual experience. Afterward, stroll through the serene Meiji Jingu Inner Garden, once reserved for the Imperial family, and continue to Yoyogi Park, where Tokyo residents gather for cherry blossoms, autumn colors, and weekend performances. This tour offers not just sightseeing, but a meaningful way to connect with Japanese culture, leaving you with memories — and a wish — at one of Japan’s most sacred shrines.
