Great for fans of dark tourism, samurai lore, and lesser-known Tokyo. As this tour is centered around crime and punishment in the Edo period, there will be descriptions of punishment and violence. We will be visiting shrines and temples that still have functioning graveyards on the premises, so please cover shoulders and midriffs, and wear bottoms that cover the thighs, as to not disrespect other visitors. Included transportation includes public bus or taxi, depending on circumstances. Tour will still run in light rain. Due to the Japanese custom of often renewing shrines and temples or holding random private worship or closures, a location may partially be covered by construction scaffolding or be completely closed without notice. We will have a backup location, but please understand. The tour may be a little longer or shorter depending on group size.
