Meiji Shrine & Harajuku Walking Tour 　Tradition Meets Pop Culture

First, we'll visit Meiji Jingu, a vast shrine surrounded by abundant nature where you can experience Japan's tradition and history. Along with its historical background, the guide will explain in detail the proper worship etiquette and a traditional purification ritual called “temizu (chouzu).” Located in the heart of Tokyo’s bustling metropolis, this expansive forest offers a sacred and tranquil atmosphere where time seems to flow at a more leisurely pace.

Next, we'll head to Takeshita Street, the heart of Japan's “kawaii” culture. Here, you can take “purikura” photo booth pictures and enjoy crepes or other uniquely cute Japanese sweets as you stroll around. Please note that it can get very crowded, especially since COVID, so there may be lines and it might be difficult to walk at times—we appreciate your understanding. We can also show you around other areas of Harajuku and Omotesando besides Takeshita Street, so we’re happy to adjust the schedule flexibly according to your requests.
