Tokyo: Meiji Shrine Walking Tour - Shintoism & Imperial System

Yuuki A was an amazing guide, he taught me about the proper custom to bow before entering each gate of the shrine as well as learning about way to properly pray. As well as how the shrine began to be and how the forest surrounding the shrine was all planted. It was only me, so he was able to show me Takeshita Street as well.

It was our first full day in Japan, and we are very grateful to our guide Frankie for leading us on an informative tour of the Meiji Jingu shrine. We learned so much that we would have never discovered otherwise - the history of Shinto shrines, the history of *that* shrine, how important they are to this day, and so much more. It was a great investment of time and so worth it.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Everything was well organized, Airi were friendly and welcoming, and the activity was both fun and memorable. It was clear that a lot of thought went into creating a great experience for guests. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area and would happily do it again!

In the light rain, Mizu, our professional and friendly guide, introduced us to the history and scenery of Meiji Jingu. It was a truly enriching experience!

Our guide Yuuki was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and also very considerate. Would definitely recommend tour.

Ayaka provided an enjoyable experience. She guided us and explained the history and all the details of the shrine itself. She led us through a very interesting journey and made it fun for my daughter as well.

our tour guide Frankie was amazing I was going to do this alone but to have a Tokyo native who knows the history and can answer your questions was helpful and amazing!! guide:

The tour was awesome! Nono was great, very thorough with the details and explanation about Meiji Shrine. Highly recommend, thank you Nono!

We joined Nonoka for the 9am tour, which ended up being a private tour! She was so friendly, fun, and a great guide! (She also has a beautiful singing voice!) We loved getting to learn about the shrine and Japan’s imperial history. And for such a reasonable price, I don’t think we could have gotten the same intimate tour experience with another group!

Our family had such a lovely tour through Meiji Shine and the gardens with Keiko and Yuki. We learnt so much more about the history and culture then if we'd just walked though ourselves! Highly recommend booking this tour!
