Japan Activities

No trip to Japan is complete without a visit to one of the many temples / shrines that can be found throughout the country.

Here are five things to think about before your visit.

  1. Bend forward slightly
  2. Carefully toss a coin into the box in front of you.
  3. Ring the bell 2 or 3 times to signal to the gods that you are there now.
  4. Bend deeply 2 times (to a 90 degree angle).
  5. Clap your hands 2 times, with your left hand slightly in front of you.

After our time out on the bikes north of Nikko, we will use the bikes for light sightseeing in Tokyo. You can look forward to the following.

  1. Tokyo Tower
  2. Famous Shibua intersection
  3. Harajuku park (with all dressed-up youths)
  4. Tokyo Olympic Stadium
  5. The Emperor's Palace
  6. Corsa Corsa (considered by many to be the best bike shop in the world)
