What To Expect
Meiji Jingu Shrine
After being picked up from your hotel, we'll take a JR train or subway to reach the largest Shinto shrine in Tokyo. Completed in 1920, Meiji Shrine pays homage to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shoken. Situated in the heart of a vast forest, the main square offers a serene and sacred atmosphere. Remarkably, the entire forest is man-made. Immerse yourself in the tranquility and experience traditional Shinto-style architecture.
Shibuya Crossing
We'll catch the JR Yamanote Line at Harajuku Station, conveniently situated just outside the shrine, and head to Shibuya Station, a journey that takes only a few minutes. Once there, you'll witness one of Tokyo's most popular attractions – the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, renowned as the busiest pedestrian crossing globally. Additionally, don't miss the opportunity to see the world-famous Akita Dog, commemorated by the statue of Hachi!

5.00Yoshi my guide was very good. He knew some history of the areas we visited. I kept getting confused on how to go from one place to the next because we didn't go back the same route. There was so much to see and do, I wish we had more time.
