Wonderful experience in special restaurants with delicious food in great company - Masa did an awesome job introducing me to different restaurants and different kinds of food on this tour. The places were very special, the food delicious and we had wonderful conversation. Not only about food, but also about life in Japan in general. Thank you for an amazing evening!

Perfect first night activity - It was the perfect way to start our stay in Nagano. We ate some great food, learned about the history of the city and it was a way to orientate ourselves for the next few days. Masa was a great host; we had a great time.

A very enjoyable evening - I had a wonderful evening with Masa. I was is only customer, so I had is full attention. The establishments we visited were all very authentic and the food was very good. I especially liked the soba noodles and pickles made by one of the izakaya owner, a woman in her eighties. Masa is very knowledgeable about is hometown and about all there is to do around Nagano. I highly recommend his tour.

A wonderful evening! - I had a lovely evening touring the izakayas with Masa. I was his only client that evening, so I had his full attention. The establishments we visited were very authentic and the food was very good. I especially enjoyed the mushroom soba noodles and the pickles, all hand made by the izakaya owner, a woman in her eighties who was simply lovely. Masa is very knowledgeable about his hometown and about all that there is to see around Nagano. I highly recommend this tour.

Memorable food & drink tour - The izakaya night food tour was the highlight of my visit in Nagano. I was privileged to have a one on one evening food tour with an amazing tour guide, Masa who took me to three amazing food/drink through town. I was able to experience how the Nagano community gathered and enjoyed conversations and share their daily lives at these restaurants. Masa took the time to explain the types of foods I ate which all were delicious. The walk & conversation I had with Masa at the food tour will forever be a precious memory. I definitely recommend this tour with a fantastic food tour with Masa.
