I don't know if you think something is different in Japan, but I suppose it is because it is based on a unique discipline called Shinto.
Let's explore what makes Japan unique by visiting several unique sites in Tokyo.
This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures.
I am based in Tokyo, but I am happy to arrange any kind of tour even to Kyoto and Nara. Just contact me for further details!

Thank you very much for your review. I wanted to take you to more sites, but the starting point (Yokohama) was a bit handicapped for doing so. Anyway, I feel happy you could enjoy my tour!

“Great tour with a lot of walking ”
Great tour to get more than just photos of temples and shrines. Atsushisan did a wonderful job explaining each of the shrines and temples and their significance. There was a lot of walking between shrines down city sidewalks. Although the adults didn’t mind the walk, our three kids 8, 10, and 12 got tired. They enjoyed the shrines. Atsushi was very patient.

“Best tour guide in Tokyo!”
My mother, sister and I visited Tokyo to view cherry blossoms with Atsushi as our guide. Atsushi is very fluent in English, punctual, knowledgeable of history, culture and religion in Japan, helpful, and also patient and considerate of our walking pace. We had an enjoyable tour created for our interest and abilities. Atsushi also helped us with getting Shinkansen train card and tickets to the next city we planned to visit. I highly recommend Atsushi, everything was very well planned.
