Embark on a spiritual and cultural journey through one of Tokyo’s lesser-known but fascinating neighborhoods.

This walking tour leads you along the traditional pilgrimage route of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin), each offering blessings for different aspects of life—from Ebisu, patron of fishermen and merchants, to Benzaiten, goddess of music and the arts.
