Description

Experience Tokyo through its traditions, stories, and symbols with a private Spanish-speaking guide. This tour is designed not only to show you the important landmarks of the city, but to help you understand Japanese culture in a meaningful and authentic way. We begin in the historic district of Asakusa, where you’ll visit the famous Sensō-ji Temple. Here, your guide will explain the significance of incense purification, temple architecture, and the differences between Shinto and Buddhism in everyday Japanese life. You’ll also explore Nakamise Street, known for its traditional craft shops and local snacks. Next, we’ll travel to Harajuku, a neighborhood that represents the youthful and creative side of Tokyo. From there, we enter the peaceful forest of Meiji Shrine. Surrounded by tall cedar trees, you’ll take part in a cultural ritual included in the experience: you will either write your own ema (wooden wish plaque) or draw an omikuji fortune, depending on your preference. Your guide will explain how to purify your hands with water, how to offer your wishes, and the meaning behind each symbolic gesture. We finish in Shibuya, where modern Tokyo comes alive. See the famous Shibuya Crossing and learn about the story of Hachikō, a symbol of loyalty in Japan. Throughout the tour, you’ll receive context, history, legends, and easy-to-understand cultural explanations that go far beyond the typical tourist visit. Because this is a private tour, you can set the pace, ask questions freely, and focus on the themes that interest you most. This is the perfect experience for travelers who want to connect with Tokyo on a deeper level and discover not only its landmarks, but its spirit.
