Itinerary
Start your journey at the iconic "Thunder Gate." Marvel at the massive red lantern and fierce guardian statues. This is the perfect spot for your first memorable group photo, captured by your guide.
Stroll down one of Japan's oldest shopping streets. Discover colorful traditional crafts, learn the history behind this bustling avenue, and find out which local snacks are truly worth trying.
Pass through the impressive inner gate. Admire the protective Nio statues and the giant 400kg straw sandals (O-waraji), which symbolize the immense strength of the temple's guardians.
Learn the basics of temple etiquette, including how to approach the incense burner, cleanse at the purification fountain, and offer simple prayers respectfully. Your guide will share brief insights into the temple’s history and cultural significance, making this a meaningful and easy-to-follow experience for visitors new to Japanese culture.
Step into this peaceful Shinto shrine located right next to the Buddhist temple. Learn the fascinating differences between Japan's two major religions—Buddhism and Shintoism—and the history of the neighborhood's founders.
Walk through this nostalgic, lantern-lit street famous for its retro izakayas (local pubs). Feel the vibrant local atmosphere and get excellent recommendations from your guide on where to eat and drink after the tour.
