You’ll visit Meiji Shrine, Tsukiji Marketplace, and Asakusa Temple on this tour. Meiji Shrine is Japan’s most famous Shinto shrine, dedicated to the Meiji emperor and his wife. Visitors to the shrine can take part in typical Shinto activities, such as buying charms and amulets or writing out a wish on an ema (wooden plaque). After visiting the Meiji Shrine, walk around and experience the taste of Japan at the Tsukiji Market. Nicknamed Tokyo’s Kitchen, it is one of the largest marketplaces. The streets are lined with many retail shops, restaurants, food stands, and much more. You may also find souvenirs unique to this area. In Asakusa, you will see the Thunder Gate “Kaminarimon,” which is an extremely beautiful vermilion-lacquered gate that stands at the entrance to the shopping lane called Nakamise Avenue and displays the front of the Main Hall of the Sensoji Temple. Asakusa is more than temples and shrines; you’ll find many souvenirs, snack shops, and restaurants throughout the streets.
