Fantastic 5.0
we had a group of 7 people, were felt like the perfect amount of people. I was solo on this tour, but never felt left out. Part because of the other nice people taking the tour, but also because of our lovely guide Manny. Manny told us about Harajuku before we headed to the Meji Jinku shrine grounds. Manny was very knowledgeable about the shinto religion, customs and rituals. The history and customs were presented in a fun and informative way. Overal, the tour felt very in line with the connections and knowledge emperor Meji is known for. Definitely take the tour if you are thinking about it. The grounds are very impressive. We were lucky to be here on a beautifully sunny day, which meant we were able to witness a few weddings happen on the shrine grounds as well as live Gagaku in the centre of the shrine grounds. I am very glad I decided to take this tour. Thank you fellow travelers and our guide Many for the beautiful experience.

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.

Taku had great English and was lovely to talk to. we were very lucky to be the only people on the tour. He was happy to answer any questions we had and let us explore at our own pace. He explained the history of Meiji Jingu and offered to take photos which was great.

It was the best! As a Japanese person, I highly recommend it. Although it's originally a tour for foreigners, I made a request and Karina, who is Bulgarian, guided us through Meiji Jingu Shrine entirely in Japanese. It was very insightful to hear interesting stories about Japan from a foreigner's perspective. Everyone was very satisfied as she carefully and clearly guided us through areas and cultures that even we Japanese didn't know or hadn't visited! I'm also grateful to Inoki-san for assisting us. Group size: 6, all Japanese.

An absolutely excellent tour and one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo! The itinerary was very well organized, covering Meiji Shrine, Asakusa, Odaiba and Tokyo Skytree. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the day. Everything was smooth and enjoyable, with enough time to explore and take beautiful photos. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tokyo

This was a great walking tour! Miyuki really listens and makes the tour personal! We saw so many things we would not have found on our own. My husband was able to get a special knife for our son from one of the oldest knife shops opened in 1952 and I got a nostalgic sailor moon book, as well as other take home souvenirs. We tasted delicious soy sauce in a shop and yummy crepes! we saw the shrine and the famous street crossing! We are a couple of shy Canadians and Miyuki was able to get us to places we wanted to see! She is friendly and kind. And she took pictures throughout and sent them to us! amazing! Highly recommend!🫶🏻🇨🇦
