Description
Experience the best of Harajuku in one tour! Feel the peace of Meiji Jingu's sacred forest, dive into the trends of Takeshita Street, and end with a relaxing visit to a cute animal cafe.
Experience Japan's serenity, energy, and charm all at once on this unique 2-hour walking tour in the heart of Harajuku. Your adventure begins at JR Harajuku Station's Takeshita Exit, where your friendly local guide will meet you to kick off an unforgettable Tokyo experience.
Our first stop is the urban oasis, Meiji Jingu Shrine. The moment you step onto the grounds, you'll find yourself in a sacred forest, wrapped in a peaceful silence that feels a world away from the city's hustle. Your guide will explain the shrine's history, Japanese culture, and the proper way to pray, allowing you to deeply connect with Japan's spiritual side. Refresh your spirit in the crisp, clean air.
Next, we'll dive into the world-famous Takeshita Street.
