We loved eating various types of Japanese food and going through the streets with our guide. Although the streets are safe it was so much easier and faster with a guide to follow. She gave us lots of information on the culture in addition to food and history.

Tour Story
Discover a creative and Zen side of Tokyo on our Goshuin & Gotokuji Tour — Comic-Con Edition, a 4.5-hour cultural immersion crafted especially for visiting fans. Begin in Sangenjaya with an intimate goshuin (temple stamp) book–making workshop, limited to eight guests for a relaxed, hands-on experience. Using colorful washi paper, fan-themed embellishments, and decorative accents, you’ll design a one-of-a-kind temple stamp book—perfect for collecting goshuin throughout Japan or keeping as a personal travel scrapbook.
After crafting your book, enjoy a tasty local lunch, then set off toward Gotokuji Temple, birthplace of Japan’s beloved Lucky Cats. Ride the charming Tama-Den local train, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot the special cat-themed train car along the route. At Gotokuji, wander peaceful pathways lined with thousands of maneki-neko, soak in the atmosphere, and receive your first temple stamp directly in your handmade book. This uplifting tour blends creativity, culture, and a touch of magic.
