Let’s step off the beaten path!

Would you like to explore and collect goshuin stamps with a local guide who grew up in Tokyo?

All the destinations we’ll visit are less crowded than Tokyo’s major historical sites, but just as beautiful. You’ll learn the history of each temple and shrine, experience Japanese culture, and enjoy the authentic local vibes.

This tour also includes a visit to a beautiful and peaceful Japanese garden. If you prefer, you can choose to focus only on collecting goshuin stamps — but the price remains the same.

Your guide is a Tokyo native who speaks English and a little Spanish.

I went with Masami who took me to many temples and shrines to get Goshuins that I would've otherwise missed! The places were incredibly beautiful, and we even had time to go to a beautiful local Japanese Garden. I went home with some incredible memories and a book full of Goshuin! I am very grateful for Masami for having this tour!

I had a wonderful time on this tour. I just recently started collecting goshuin, and after this tour I felt more comfortable with temple and shrine etiquette and requesting goshuin. Ma-chan was super friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We visited several temples and shrines, including many I never would have found on my own. Ma-chan walked me through the purification ritual, praying, and obtaining goshuin, and she shared interesting stories about the shrines and temples’ histories. She also made me her own personal goshuin! The weather was very hot and sunny, and Ma-chan ensured I had a UV umbrella and took frequent breaks to prevent any heat illness. Thanks, Ma-chan, for a great tour, even in the intense heat. :-)

What a fantastic experience! I visited shrines and temples that I would have never seen on my own. I learned so much and filled up my passport book.

I had a lot of fun on this tour. You get to see beautiful locations and understand more about Japanese culture thanks to Masami-san's charming display of knowledge. These are all less known shrines, so it's quiet, far from the crowds of Senso-ji and the like. Some are small, some majestic, all have plenty of stories to tell. I am a goshuin (handwritten shrine stamps) enthusiast, so this was extra interesting. These stamps are tangible memories of your trip and they look so good gathered together in the booklet. Thank you Masami-san!
