Begin your journey by stepping away from the busy streets of Tokyo and entering the peaceful forest paths of Meiji Shrine, one of the city’s most important cultural and spiritual landmarks. Learn about Japanese history, Shinto traditions, shrine etiquette, and the customs and values that continue to shape modern Japan today.

As you explore Meiji Shrine with your local guide, hear stories about daily life in Japan, local etiquette, historical events, and Tokyo’s transformation through the years. Discover how traditional Japan and modern Tokyo continue to coexist in everyday life!

The atmosphere then changes as the tour moves into Harajuku, one of Tokyo’s most famous districts known for youth culture, creativity, fashion, and modern trends. Explore Takeshita Street and experience the colourful world of Japanese “kawaii” culture while learning how modern Tokyo developed alongside centuries old traditions :)
