What you can expect

  • Escape the urban buzz and discover a peaceful sanctuary on this 2-hour guided walking tour of Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine). Nestled within a vast, lush forest in the heart of the city, the shrine offers a profound connection to Japan’s rich spiritual traditions.

    On this tour, you will explore the impressive shrine grounds, beginning with a walk through the towering majestic torii gates. Your expert guide will provide fascinating insights into Shinto rituals and the history of this elegant complex, which is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken.

    This is more than just a sightseeing trip; it’s an opportunity to respectfully participate in ancient Shinto customs. You will learn how to properly cleanse your hands at the purification fountain (temizuya) and understand the correct etiquette for offering prayers at the main hall.

    Strolling along the peaceful walking paths beneath the canopy of trees, you’ll soak up the tranquil atmosphere—a perfect, natural escape from the bustling streets of Tokyo. This experience promises a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and a chance to find serenity amid the world's largest metropolis.
