Capture beautiful photos in and around the shrine’s tunnel-like paths. After a relaxing walk, take a break at a café in a traditional old folk house. Enjoy a drink and sweet while joining a unique workshop to paint your own lucky cat statue, a symbol of happiness and good fortune, as a special travel keepsake. The tour continues through peaceful backstreets, stopping by the famous Himalayan cedar tree before strolling Yanaka Ginza, a nostalgic shopping street that reflects the charm of Tokyo’s old neighborhoods.
