• Meiji Jingu Shrine - Begin your journey with something peaceful, authentic, and deeply Japanese. Be guided through the serene forest paths of the Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo’s most iconic spiritual sites.

What’s the highlight? Witnessing a traditional Shinto prayer ceremony (gokito), a ritual that few visitors get to experience. The guide is well-versed in the Meiji Shrine and has lived abroad, offering insights that bridge Japanese culture with your own. It’s a thoughtful and relaxing way to explore Japan more deeply.

Inside a wooden hall with high ceilings and the scent of cypress, priests chant ancient prayers. Flutes and drums resonate throughout the space, creating a serene and powerful atmosphere. Understanding the words isn’t necessary: just sit, listen, and feel. Many describe it as calming, even moving. It’s not about religion, but connecting with something quietly powerful and uniquely Japanese.

• Restaurant Yoyogi - Lunch option included

This tour includes lunch at the “Yoyogi” restaurant within the Meiji Shrine. Choose from:

A traditional tempura menu, freshly made and crispy

Or a Western food option, designed for visitors who prefer more familiar flavors

After exploring the sacred and tranquil paths of the shrine, enjoy a relaxed meal in a serene setting. It’s a perfect opportunity to savor both Japanese tradition and contemporary taste.

En el centro de Tokio, rodeado por un bosque sagrado, se encuentra el Santuario Meiji, un lugar de tranquilidad y espiritualidad.
Este recorrido es similar a una “misa sintoísta” de 20 minutos. Con un trato VIP exclusivo, se ofrece acceso a un área generalmente cerrada al público, donde los sacerdotes realizan oraciones solemnes.

Durante la ceremonia, se escucharán cánticos que evocan himnos de catedral, se observará la danza sagrada de las sacerdotisas (miko) y se recibirá omiki, un sake sagrado comparable al vino de comunión. Será como participar en una misa, pero dentro de la tradición japonesa.

Las voces resuenan en un salón de madera, acompañadas por tambores y flautas que crean una atmósfera serena y poderosa. No se requiere conocimiento religioso: basta con sentarse, escuchar y dejarse envolver por la energía de Japón.

Después del ritual, se disfrutará de un almuerzo en el restaurante “Yoyogi” dentro del santuario, con la opción de tempura recién hecha o un plato occidental para quienes prefieren sabores más familiares.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
