Goshuin Colecting & Garden Walk em Tóquio

This was a great tour! Great way to experience Japan and their shrines and temples. I learned a lot and it was a great morning.

The tour was absolutely wonderful. I learned so much about the temples and shrines. The guide was so knowledgeable and we also had really good conversations about spirituality and culture. I saw temples and shrines I might not otherwise have seen. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you want a better appreciation for goshuin.

I did the tour and mini Japanese lesson with Masami. It was a phenomenal experience! Masami is very kind, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the goshuin experience. I am usually a shy person but I think we chatted almost the entire tour - from kami to historical roots and small japanese lessons throughout, each stop was meaningful and the goshuin felt special. Now I feel ready and very excited to fill my goshuin book and explore the many shrines and temples across Tokyo for many trips to come! Masami, yabai! Goshuin, yabai! Experience, yabai! 🦊

Goshuin collecting is a unique experience I could only find on Viator. Masami exceeded my expectations. I learned so much about Japanese shrines and temples. Yummy snacks are included plus a visit to a beautiful Japanese garden. After Masami helped me map out my next adventure to Alisa on the subway. Highly recommended!!

This Goshuin tour with Masami has been one of the most wonderful things we’ve done. Masami was so kind, friendly and generous with her knowledge and culture, allowing us to fully appreciate and share in the religious experience of both Buddhist and Shinto religions. It’s lovely to understand about Goshuin and how to respectfully ask for it. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who would like to learn about Japanese culture, however the time spent with Masami was the highlight for us. She was sensational!

I went with Masami who took me to many temples and shrines to get Goshuins that I would've otherwise missed! The places were incredibly beautiful, and we even had time to go to a beautiful local Japanese Garden. I went home with some incredible memories and a book full of Goshuin! I am very grateful for Masami for having this tour!

I had a wonderful time on this tour. I just recently started collecting goshuin, and after this tour I felt more comfortable with temple and shrine etiquette and requesting goshuin. Ma-chan was super friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We visited several temples and shrines, including many I never would have found on my own. Ma-chan walked me through the purification ritual, praying, and obtaining goshuin, and she shared interesting stories about the shrines and temples’ histories. She also made me her own personal goshuin! The weather was very hot and sunny, and Ma-chan ensured I had a UV umbrella and took frequent breaks to prevent any heat illness. Thanks, Ma-chan, for a great tour, even in the intense heat. :-)

What a fantastic experience! I visited shrines and temples that I would have never seen on my own. I learned so much and filled up my passport book.

I had a lot of fun on this tour. You get to see beautiful locations and understand more about Japanese culture thanks to Masami-san's charming display of knowledge. These are all less known shrines, so it's quiet, far from the crowds of Senso-ji and the like. Some are small, some majestic, all have plenty of stories to tell. I am a goshuin (handwritten shrine stamps) enthusiast, so this was extra interesting. These stamps are tangible memories of your trip and they look so good gathered together in the booklet. Thank you Masami-san!
