• Meiji Jingu Shrine - Our first stop is Meiji Jingu, a spacious shrine enveloped by lush greenery, offering a glimpse into Japan’s rich tradition and history. The guide will provide an in-depth explanation of the shrine’s historical significance, along with instructions on proper worship etiquette and the traditional purification ritual known as “temizu (chouzu).” Nestled in the heart of Tokyo’s vibrant cityscape, this expansive forest provides a sacred and peaceful environment where time seems to slow down.
• Takeshita Street - Next, we will visit Takeshita Street, the epicenter of Japan’s “kawaii” culture. Here, visitors can take “purikura” photo booth pictures and indulge in crepes or other charmingly unique Japanese sweets while exploring. Please be aware that it can become quite crowded, especially post-COVID, so there may be lines and walking might be challenging at times—your understanding is appreciated.

Additionally, we can guide you through other parts of Harajuku and Omotesando beyond Takeshita Street, and are happy to adjust the itinerary flexibly to suit your preferences.
