Continue the tour by visiting a local shrine (one of Tokyo’s oldest and top five major shrines) and take an in depth look into the world of spiritual Shinto religion, deeply rooted in Japanese mythology and lifestyle. The shrine has been worshipped at for over 1900 years. You can learn from your local guide about Shintoism and the Japanese view of the religion, and the difference between the Japanese Shinto religion and Buddhism.
Enjoy Japanese sake-sampling! How about a rare local sake from Tokyo as a souvenir?
We will drop by a local Japanese sake shop at the end of our tour. The shop also brews local sake in the city, so you can purchase Tokyo's rare local sake "KOUZURU", which is dedicated to the god of the local shrine.
