Step away from the crowds and into Tokyo’s sacred forest — a peaceful world hiding in plain sight. Led by a local guide who knows both the history and the hidden corners, this tour gives you a fresh look at one of Tokyo’s most iconic spiritual spots.

Start at the Outer Worship Hall, where locals come to make wishes and offer respect. Learn how to bow, cleanse, and pray the traditional way — just like Tokyoites do during New Year’s.

Next, visit a quiet, almost secret place: the Imperial Fishing Platform. Few visitors know this calm corner exists — a rare look into the Emperor’s pastimes and Japan’s quiet reverence for nature.

Finish at the bicycle parking area — it might sound ordinary, but here, everyday Tokyo life intersects with tradition. Chat about how locals blend ancient customs with modern routines, all just steps from youth culture hub Harajuku.
