A Peaceful and Insightful Experience in Tokyo - This tour gave us a really special look into both Shinto and Buddhist traditions. The Goma fire ritual was especially powerful — something we’ll never forget. Each place we visited had its own calm and beauty, and the guide explained everything clearly without being too formal. It was the perfect balance of learning, reflection, and just enjoying the peaceful side of Tokyo. Highly recommended if you want something more meaningful than the usual sightseeing.

A Powerful Ritual That Touched Us All - The Goma fire ritual was the absolute highlight. Watching the monk beat the drum while flames rose around him was powerful—it felt like our hearts were being cleansed with each beat. It was spiritual, moving, and something we’ll never forget. The peaceful temple setting made it even more special. A truly unforgettable Tokyo morning.

Fun Family Morning with History and Hidden Gems - We joined as a group of six relatives and had such a great time! Walking around Asakusa and trying different street foods was super fun. At Meiji Shrine, we learned how to pray properly and got a deeper look into Japanese traditions. The best part? Our guide took us to a hidden temple where we learned about the shogun era—something we’d never find on our own. It was the perfect mix of culture, food, and adventure!

Best Way to Start the Day in Tokyo - This tour was the perfect way to kick off our morning in Tokyo. The Goma fire ritual was super cool—loud, intense, and kind of magical. We even grabbed a fresh taiyaki on the way, which totally hit the spot. Chill, spiritual, and fun all in one.
