Discover the spiritual heart of Tokyo through a English-guided walk at Meiji Jingu Shrine, led by Japanese student historians.
This tour goes beyond sightseeing — it explains why this shrine still matters to Japanese people today, diving into deep history of the Shrine, Shinto and Japan.
Guided by Japanese student historians, you will learn:
• The basic ideas of Shinto (kami, nature, ancestors)
• Why Meiji Jingu was built and whom it enshrines
• How Shinto shapes everyday Japanese values, not just religion
• The meaning behind rituals, architecture, and sacred spaces
Unlike typical tourist tours, this experience focuses on cultural understanding rather than photo stops.
Questions and discussion are welcome, making it ideal for visitors interested in Japanese history, society, and identity.
This tour is suitable for:
• First-time visitors to Japan
• Travelers interested in culture, tradition and history
Small-group or private format ensures a relaxed pace and personal interaction.

5.00The atmosphere at Meiji Jingu was calm and refreshing, surrounded by rich greenery. The experience itself was engaging and thoughtfully structured. The student historian guide was attentive, and the small crowd size kept the tour relaxed. The two-hour length of visit felt just right, and the price was excellent for the depth provided. Best for travellers looking for an uncrowded and meaningful cultural experience.
What a fantastic tour!

5.00This Meiji Shrine tour was far better than I could have imagined. A student knowledgeable about Japanese history gave excellent explanations in clear English. The student was kind and offered me lots of advice for my trip in Japan. The price was reasonable, the staff were friendly, and it was a very satisfying tour!
A warm welcome to Meiji Jingu

5.00Two hours passed by astonishingly fast. The grand torii gate, vast nature, pure water, Emperor Meiji, and the rare museum exhibits… The student historian guide explained everything—what kami are, what Shinto is, what a shrine is, who the Emperor is, and what Japan is as a nation. My understanding of this beautiful country deepened all at once, and I was deeply moved by the guide’s kindness and careful explanations. The small group size meant the tour was uncrowded and very comfortable throughout. It was truly a wonderful tour. It was almost unbelievably inexpensive. I would recommend it to all visitors who love and respect Japan in its entirety.
