Disappointing. Guide didn’t know a lot about Shinto.
We chose this tour during our three day. Stay in Tokyo specifically because we are very interested in spirituality and want to learn about Chantelle customs and practices. When we tried to ask specific questions, our guide would just say that Japanese are not religious and they come to the temples just for fun, which clearly was not the case as we could see that people were actually coming to temples to pray. The guy also did not speak English very well. His best use was transferring us on the subways because he knew where to go. We were very disappointed to spend one out of our 2 1/2 days in Tokyo on this tour as the little information we received about history and religion. We already knew from watching videos. I can’t recommend this to her.

My tour guide, Yoshinori,...
My tour guide, Yoshinori, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave a good tour of the Shinto shrines and gave me directions for things to do after the tour. I recommend this tour.

Yoshi is the best!
Yoshi was amazing, he was so knowledgable and so fun to go around Tokyo with! I figured out how to navigate the train system because of him :) He's like the grandpa everyone should have.

Comprehensive
Great, comprehensive intro to Japanese history. Shrines and temples beautiful. Fringe benefit of learning how to navigate the train and bus system! Guide was very knowledgeable and patient. I felt like I was traveling with an uncle. Lunch was really good.
