Our journey will commence at the designated time at Monzen-Nakacho Station, located in one of Tokyo's most spiritually rich areas. Are you prepared to observe the fire ceremony at Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple?
We will kick off by wandering through the historic streets of Fukagawa, a locale that captures the charm of ancient Edo, filled with traditional boutiques and concealed shrines.
