【Meiji Jingu Shrine】Discover and deepen your understanding of the Yamato dynasty, the world's oldest dynasty, and Shinto, Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition
Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of a sacred forest, where quietness and peace embrace the soul.
Meiji Jingu Shrine is one of the major Shinto shrines in Japan, set within a vast forested area (70 ha.) in the heart of the bustling metropolis of Tokyo.
As soon as you enter the grounds, you'll forget you're in a busy urban area and discover a serene, traditional Japanese atmosphere amidst lush greenery.
This shrine was founded in 1920 to honor the virtues of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who played a key role in establishing the foundation of modern Japan.
Meiji Jingu is open every day, though the opening hours vary according to the season.
Here, your guide will thoughtfully explain the traditions of Shinto and the history of Japan’s Imperial Family. You will also find three beautiful torii gates, a sacred pair of married camphor trees, and an elegant shrine building.
Meiji Jingu warmly awaits, ready to offer its blessings to all visitors.
Takeshita Street (Harajuku/pop culture)
Takeshita street, situated just in front of Harajuku station, has been a Mecca for Japanese teenagers.
Along this 350-meter-long street, about 130 shops are packed closely together.
Take a stroll down this vibrant street and explore a dazzling mix of fashion boutiques, crepe stands, Sanrio shops, anime stores, souvenir shops, cozy cat cafés, and charming pig cafés. You'll also find 100-yen shops, UNIQLO, and a variety of cosmetics stores — all offering a true taste of modern Japanese culture.
This street is well known as a Mecca for girls in Lolita costume.
They are so cute, Kawaii!
Enjoy watching the ever-changing fashions of the people passing by.
【Shibuya Scramble/Crossing】
Shibuya is a lively, modern neighborhood buzzing with youthful energy, surrounded by towering skyscrapers. One of its most famous spots is the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where an incredible half a million people cross paths every single day! Head up to the top floors of Shibuya Scramble Square for a stunning view of this lively human flow — it’s like watching a living, breathing work of art.

About Tour Guide Hiromi N.
Dear Guests,
Hello!
My name is Hiromi. I grew up near the Imperial Palace surrounded by history, art, music and nice family.
I used to work in Imperial Palace as a guide because I love my hometown and to meet new people and expand my horizon. It brings me great joy to see my guest's smile. I treat them like close friend.
Every tour is an opportunity for me to learn and grow, and I continually strive to improve my skills to be the best guide I can be.
I'd like to share the magic of Japan with you. Let’s create moments that you’ll cherish always, together.
I believe that travel is not just about visiting new places, but about enriching your life, expanding your horizons, and experiencing sensational moments that leave you with a deep sense of wonder. I’m here to help you discover Japan in a way that will touch your heart and inspire you to see the world through a new lens.
Let me share how I became a tour guide. Since I was a child, I’ve always been fascinated by foreign films and cultures. I studied English and French, traveled to the U.S. and Europe multiple times, and was always captivated by the diversity of the world.
But as I started working and met foreign colleagues who practiced martial arts and had a deep knowledge of Japanese culture, I realized how rich and beautiful Japan’s culture truly is. From traditional architecture and tea ceremonies to Bushido and kimono, Japan has so many hidden treasures that moved me deeply, and I wanted to share these with people from around the world.
In addition to guiding in Tokyo, I’ve also had the privilege of taking guests to iconic places like Kyoto, Osaka, Himeji, Kanazawa, and Takayama. Each destination offers a unique story and charm, and I love sharing these gems with my visitors.

“Amazing day with Hiromi”
We had a wonderful day with Hiromi. We were a group of six Canadians visiting Tokyo, and Hiromi was truly exceptional. She shared with us a wealth of historical and cultural insights, while making sure we visited as many sites as possible. Her outstanding professionalism made our experience even more memorable. On top of that, Hiromi speaks excellent English and French, which made communication easy and enjoyable throughout the day.

Dear Eric sama, Thank you very much for choosing me and Japan. It was truly my immense pleasure to guide successful business leaders from Quebec. Thank you for supporting Japanese businesses through your work as well. Quebec, with its unique blend of French and English cultures, is one of my favorite regions. It was truly a pleasure meeting with you. I hope to see you again! Sincerely, Your private samurai.
