Experience Details

Though known well for its towering skyscrapers and sprawling cityscape, within Tokyo lies various aspects of Japanese culture, historic and modern! Make some space for one morning to take this stroll around one of Tokyo’s iconic shrines, and have a lovely brunch at the city’s fashion hub. At the heart of the city’s business district lies Meiji Shrine, surrounded by a lush forest and vibrant gardens. Meiji is believed by locals to overflow with positive spiritual energies, which you can experience firsthand. Led by a guide, walk through the shrine’s inviting torii gate and get wonderfully lost in nature. Browse the numerous lucky charms, pull a fortune slip, and make a wish, taking in all that Meiji Shrine has to offer. Finishing the tour is brunch at Harajuku, just five minutes from Meiji Shrine. The district is a bustling hub of Japanese fashion and kawaii culture, a stark contrast to the serenity of Meiji Shrine. Enjoy a fantastic meal in this fabulous district, and learn insider information and recommendations from the tour guide.
