Overview

Hi guys! I’m Yuki. I’ve been running walking tours in Tokyo for over a year now. I studied education at Meiji University and hold a junior high school social studies teaching licence. I also lived and worked in Vancouver, Canada, for about a year and a half. I work as an online English teacher as well.

Meiji Shrine is one of the most popular shrines in Japan.
I’ll share stories about Emperor Meiji, stop by the famous sake barrels, try the hand-washing ritual, and talk about Shinto.

Having a guide really helps things click— how Japanese people think about religion, and what makes this place feel special. I’ll also show you how Japanese people pray when they’re wishing for dreams to come true.

You’ll also have free time to grab a goshuin stamp or check out some souvenirs.

I recently launched this tour, so the number of reviews is still small.
That’s why I’ve kept the price a little lower.
I have plenty of guiding experience, so you’ll definitely enjoy the tour!
