Gain insights into the Japanese view of religion, where Shinto and respect for nature are deeply rooted in daily life. Understand the concept of living in harmony with nature and how shrines have served as spiritual havens for the Japanese people.

As you stroll through the forest, discover unique Japanese practices like forest swimming (Shinrin-yoku) and purification (Misogi), which have become symbols of Japanese spirituality worldwide.

Enjoy a personalised experience, with the opportunity to write your wishes on an ema, visit a sacred well, or take your time choosing a lucky charm or goshuin. End your tour with a relaxing break at a café, where your guide will share stories about the Harajuku and Omotesando areas, as well as the history and charm of Yoyogi Park.
