Meiji Shrine and Harajuku

Thank you to those who participated in Tokyo Free Walking Tour at Meiji Shrine and Harajuku.  On such a crispy sunny Autumn day, we welcomed 15 guests from the USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, Portugal, and Singapore.  The guests are visiting Japan with families, colleagues or friends, and some already have visited many other attractive places such as Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kanazawa, Wakayama, Takayama, and Matsumoto. Another group is going to visit Nikko after Tokyo. We are glad to know that they are having a good time all around the country. Also, we hope you all enjoyed and shared interesting and informative conversations with each other during the tour.  Tokyo Free Walking Tour is a small group tour with multiple guides in Tokyo, so like today’s tour, guests could enjoy more and more friendly  conversations with local guides.  Please explore Tokyo and Japan with us!

Here are the group photos and snapshots:

At Meiji Jingu, there are four ways of telling your wishes to the deity (Kami-sama) : offering box, letter box, wooden votive tablet (Ema), or Shinto ritual by shinto priests. She wrote a letter to the deity.

May her wishes come true!

We found a motorcycle at the car purification place for the first time.
