🎍 Meiji Shrine New Year Visit & Omotesando Walk

Let’s welcome the new year with a peaceful and cultural experience at Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo’s most iconic spots for New Year prayers. Together, we’ll walk through the beautiful forest path, make our first wishes of the year, and enjoy the warm atmosphere of Japan’s traditional “Hatsumode.”
After the shrine visit, we’ll head toward Omotesando, where New Year vibes, seasonal decorations, and lively street scenes create the perfect mood for strolling, chatting, taking photos, and connecting with new friends.
Whether you live in Tokyo, are visiting, studying abroad, or simply want to experience Japanese New Year culture — you are very welcome to join us and start 2026 with positivity and good luck.
