Itinerary

Start your day with a refreshing riverside walk away from the crowds and noise of central Tokyo.

We’ll begin with a gentle walk along the riverbank, enjoying the fresh morning air and views of bridges and boats. Then, we’ll visit Kiyosumi Garden, a beautifully preserved Japanese garden offering a moment of calm and natural beauty. Next, we’ll stop by Fukagawa Fudoson Temple, where you’ll witness a powerful goma fire ritual—a sacred ceremony with flames, drumming, and chanting that offers a rare glimpse into Japan’s living spiritual traditions. The tour finishes by late morning with a relaxing coffee break at a local café. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to make the most of your day—with a deeper connection to Tokyo’s quiet side.
