Activity itinerary

Meiji Jingu Shrine

Discover the tranquil beauty and rich heritage of Meiji Jingu, Tokyo’s most celebrated Shinto shrine. Enter through towering torii gates and follow a tree-lined path into a lush, 70-hectare forest—a peaceful retreat from the city’s bustle. Learn the fascinating history of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken, and how this shrine became a symbol of Japan’s modernization and spiritual tradition. Your guide will share the meaning behind Shinto rituals, from cleansing at the temizuya to offering prayers at the main hall. Admire the striking sake barrel displays, explore serene courtyards, and discover hidden details often missed by casual visitors. Whether it’s your first time in Tokyo or a return visit, this tour offers a deeper understanding of Japan’s culture and spirituality in one of its most sacred spaces.

Takeshita Street

Bursting with colour, energy, and creativity, Takeshita Street is the beating heart of Harajuku’s youth culture. This narrow, 400-meter pedestrian lane is lined with trendy boutiques, quirky accessory shops, themed cafés, and sweet stalls selling everything from rainbow candy floss to crepes piled high with fruit and cream. Famous as the birthplace of kawaii fashion, Takeshita Street is where Tokyo’s boldest styles emerge—often worn proudly by locals strolling the avenue. Every step offers something eye-catching, from cosplay outfits and vintage finds to limited-edition trainers. Whether you’re shopping, people-watching, or simply soaking in the electric atmosphere, Takeshita Street is a must-see for anyone wanting to experience Tokyo’s playful, trendsetting side.

Omotesando

Often called the “Champs-Élysées of Tokyo,” Omotesando is a stylish tree-lined avenue known for its high-end boutiques, flagship designer stores, and striking modern architecture. The broad boulevard is a showcase of Tokyo’s sophisticated side, blending luxury fashion houses with chic cafés, art galleries, and innovative concept shops. Beyond shopping, Omotesando is an architectural destination, featuring creations by world-renowned designers such as Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, and Herzog and de Meuron. Seasonal greenery adds to its charm—lush gingko trees in summer turn golden in autumn—making it a beautiful stroll year-round. With its blend of elegance, design, and urban energy, Omotesando offers a refined contrast to the playful chaos of nearby Harajuku.
