Hoogtepunten

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

Neonverlichte wijken, stille heiligdommen, voortreffelijk eten en eigen buurten vormen Tokio, een uitgestrekte, ordelijke metropool vol stipte treinen.

Elke wijk voelt als een eigen stad. De beroemde kruising van Shibuya en de torens, bars en steegjes van Golden Gai in Shinjuku gonzen van energie, terwijl Harajuku jeugdmode combineert met de beboste rust van het Meiji Jingu-heiligdom. In Asakusa houden de Sensō-ji-tempel en zijn winkelstraat een ouder Tokio in leven, en Ginza biedt gepolijste warenhuizen en galeries.

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