Kanda Myojin
I'll show you how locals worship to the gods, and give you a brief explanation of the Shrine and the important deities you'll see inside the facility.
You'll also be able to buy lucky charms, pull an omikuji, a paper telling your fortune, or try an ema, which is a wooden amulet where you write your wishes or prayers.
Also, if your interest is more towards eating Japanese food, there are some traditional Japanese foods and sweets you can try near the Shrine. Please let me know what you'd like to experience!

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Great Guide with good English!”
Our experience with Ayaka was great. From the point of view of European, it was very useful to have Japanese guide for our first day of visiting Japan. Ayaka is very nice and listens to what you want so the tour is quite enjoyable and four hours run by very quickly. We would also like to point out that Ayaka's first language is English, which makes the communication very smooth. Adéla and Jan (19 April 2024)
“A true friend in Tokyo”
If you're scared to arrive in Tokyo not speaking the language, not knowing the customs and fumbling your way around tourist traps and metro lines, please consider adding a travel guide to your itinerary. Ayaka has a passion for Japan, a heart of gold and a caring for people that is beyond friendship. In this single day we explored everything from the Shinjuku, the busiest train station in the world to the smallest hidden shrines that were quintessential Japan. She brings a wealth of knowledge, quick thinking and impeccable English and Japanese to make your tour the best possible no matter what twists get thrown in. She is great with the younger crowd as well, embodying all the things we love about Japan in a personable and excellent way. She puts 100% into making your tour unique and tailored to your specifics. There's nothing more to say, book her today!

“Tokyo Trip With Ayaka”
Four great days with Ayaka! She was kind enough to meet me at the hotel and also end the tour there throughout all four days. She seamlessly guided me through all our planned destinations and readily accommodated my needs, especially when I needed a break. Being an introverted person with limited social energy, I highly appreciated Ayaka's assistance with basics such as the payment system, translations, finding a nice nearby place to eat, and other things that can weigh you down. I was happy to experience beautiful places such as the Nezu Shrine, as well as taking cool photos at the Unicorn Gundam Statue, and dining at the Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe. She's a great guide and I highly recommend her!
