Meiji Jingu visit (a Shinto Shrine) and Harajuku walk
Meiji Jingu is one of the most famous tourist destinations both from overseas and Japan. On new year's day, an incredibly-long line of people to pray there can be seen, which is yearly reported in TV news shows.
If lucky, we could get a glance of a wedding procession with priests. Newly-weds are in Japanese traditional wedding attires. This makes you reconfirm that you are truly in Japan.
Meeting Point
at your hotel reception
Meiji Jingu---Japanese traditional way of purifying when stepping into sacred area
Meiji Jingu--- coin toss into an offertory box (but the donation is not an obligation for visitors )
Meiji Jingu---watch many wish boards hung by visitors, and of course you can make your own if you like. Even Barak Obama and his administration staff made theirs here in 2014.(notes...Boards are to be removed every morning by the priests so you cannot take a look at Obama's.)
Harajuku---15 minutes' walk from Meiji Jingu. This is a good choice for every purpose such as eating, shopping, eaesthetic salons, and so on.
Ending Point
It depends.(basically on your request)

(21 reviews)Hi, Tom. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Both you and your wife truly made me feel relaxed during the tour, which brings me a happy up-tempo walk. You had several good purchases at Bic Camera and that was an opportunity for me to learn to show my future customers how to grab the best price of quality items. I try to cover these kinds of shopping for foreign travellers. Thank you Tom, your shopping experience makes me a better guide! Take care. Give my best regard to Mindy. Namie
“Great time visiting onsen and fake food workshop”
I had a really enjoyable time with Namie. I had organised to meet with the owner of a fake food workshop as part of a research trip and she translated our conversations perfectly. We also visited an onsen in Shinjuku which was really lovely, we had hot stone therapy and enjoyed the baths. Namie made sure I was comfortable and was great to chat with, we had a wonderful day together - it was like hanging out with a friend!

(21 reviews)Hello, thank you for the review. I really enjoyed my Saitama trip with you and it was a precious experience in the factory. You perfectly understood the owner's idea and sense, which he was happy about. I′m proud of having an artist like you as my guest! Now I feel more familiar with artistic things than before all thanks to you. Keep creative, believe in your sense! Hope you′ll make many other works in the future. Glad to meet you!(^^)
