Tour Details

After meeting at the designated time near the Meiji Shrine, we'll start to discover the secrets of this haven of peace in the heart of Tokyo.

This temple, surrounded by a lush forest, will make you forget you're standing in one of the largest metropolises in the world. As you walk along its trails, you can recharge and connect with the spirituality in this sacred place.

Did you know the Meiji Shrine is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken? These were crucial figures in Japan's history. Here, we'll tell you why they were so important and share the Japanese religious and spiritual practices.

After visiting the shrine, our tour will continue to the neighboring Yoyogi Park, one of the largest green lungs in Tokyo. As we explore, you'll see the contrast between the calm spirituality of Meiji Shrine and the lively energy of Yoyogi Park. Here, the trails with trees and vast fields invite people to enjoy open-air activity, from family picnics to yoga and recreational sports.

After 2.5 to 3 hours, having discovered the balance between tradition and modernity that defines Tokyo's lifestyle, we'll finish this free walking tour. See you next time!
