On this special winter edition of the tour, we’ll start with a visit to a shrine with a lovely plum grove. We’ll also an origami center, a venerable shrine with unique prayer plaques, and a train station that’s living out a second life as a collection of hip boutique shops. Hear stories of flying plums, an exhausted ox, a meaningful origami gift, a horse for the gods, a secret spy tower, and more.
