Tokyo: Meiji Jingu Cultural Walking Tour with Japanese Historian

Discover the spiritual heart of Tokyo through a English-guided walk at Meiji Jingu Shrine, led by Japanese student historians.

This tour goes beyond sightseeing — it explains why this shrine still matters to Japanese people today, diving into deep history of the Shrine, Shinto and Japan.

Guided by Japanese student historians, you will learn:

• The basic ideas of Shinto (kami, nature, ancestors)

• Why Meiji Jingu was built and whom it enshrines

• How Shinto shapes everyday Japanese values, not just religion

• The meaning behind rituals, architecture, and sacred spaces

Unlike typical tourist tours, this experience focuses on cultural understanding rather than photo stops.

Questions and discussion are welcome, making it ideal for visitors interested in Japanese history, society, and identity.

This tour is suitable for:

• First-time visitors to Japan

• Travelers interested in culture, tradition and history

Small-group or private format ensures a relaxed pace and personal interaction.
