Highlights

Nakano's Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine is a tranquil and historic site. It is home to the "Three Wishes Pine," where tying an ema (wooden prayer plaque) is believed to grant three wishes. The tour offers a unique opportunity to experience a traditional Shinto ritual inside the shrine's main hall, which is typically closed to the public. After the blessing, participants can write and dedicate their ema. The shrine also features the Seven Lucky Gods and has become popular among anime fans as it appears in series like Demon Slayer and Tokyo Revengers. The tour includes a prayer ritual, an ema dedication, and omamori (protective amulet) as souvenirs, providing a rich blend of Japanese tradition and pop culture. Religious Considerations: While this tour involves Shinto rituals, participation in religious activities is optional. Visitors of different faiths can observe the rituals without fully participating. Respect for the practices and customs of the shrine is appreciated.

About Tokio

Neonviertel, stille Schreine, großartiges Essen und eigenständige Stadtteile prägen Tokio, eine riesige, geordnete Metropole mit pünktlichen Zügen.

Jeder Stadtteil fühlt sich wie eine eigene Stadt an. Shibuyas berühmte Kreuzung und Shinjukus Türme, Bars und Gassen von Golden Gai pulsieren vor Energie, während Harajuku Jugendmode mit der waldigen Ruhe des Meiji-Schreins verbindet. In Asakusa halten der Sensō-ji-Tempel und seine Marktstraße ein älteres Tokio lebendig, und Ginza bietet gepflegte Kaufhäuser und Galerien.

Top-ranked sights in Tokio: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
