Tour Report: Meiji Shrine & Harajuku on Oct. 20th, 2024

Meiji Shrine and Harajuku

Thank you for choosing our tour at Meiji Shrine & Harajuku on Oct 20th. We welcomed 19 guests from Israel, Germany, Netherlands, US, Italy, UK and Canada. I hope all of you enjoyed and shared interesting conversations with us during the tour. As promised, group photos and snapshots are attached to remember the fun times we had.

On this day, there was a traditional event where the Shinto priests would make and recite ”tanka”, traditional short poems with 31 syllables to each other. By chance, we were able to see a Shinto priest who was attending this event during our tour, and he was wearing a special costume.

Once again, thank you so much for joining us on our tour. We always make efforts to improve our tours and highly appreciate if you would give us your feedback on our website, TripAdvisor/Facebook pages etc. Your comments motivate us to continue our volunteer activities.  And we’d also happy if you tell your family and friends about how you enjoyed our tour. Next time you’re in Tokyo, please join another one of our tours, East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Asakusa, and Ueno Park. We’d love to see you again.
