Höjdpunkter

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 Tokyo

Neonbelysta stadsdelar, tysta helgedomar, fantastisk mat och distinkta kvarter utgör Tokyo, en enorm, ordnad metropol sammanlänkad av punktliga tåg.

Varje stadsdel känns som en egen stad. Shibuyas berömda övergångsställe och Shinjukus torn, barer och gränder i Golden Gai pulserar av energi, medan Harajuku blandar ungdomsmode med skogsklädd ro vid Meiji Jingu-helgedomen. I Asakusa håller templet Sensō-ji och dess marknadsgata ett äldre Tokyo vid liv, och Ginza erbjuder eleganta varuhus och gallerier.

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