Great Shinto experience. Amulets for my 🐣🐣 - Sometimes, things just make sense.The holiness, the power of nature, the tradition, it has been all explained and I learned a lot. Today's tour at 12.00 for me was THE place to be, considering my personal situation - some prayers, god's help and amulets for all my (soon to be 🐣🐣) extended family :) it was a real pleasure, Fabio

Wonderful tour of Meiji Shrine - Yuuka was a wonderful guide filled with knowledge about the Meiji Shrine and Japanese culture. She’s American so her English was easy to understand. We would hire her again.
