Food Tour in Shinsekai - This food tour was amazing!! We walked through retro Shinsekai visiting diverse and local food stalls and even played some arcade games. Our tour guide, Sae, was incredible and so so knowledgable. Best night in Japan so far!

A culinary street food tour and more. - Our guide Kentaro was a very enthusiastic man, who told a little more about Japanese culture than just the food. We also visited a Japanese knife shop where we were well informed about the different types of knives. The food was very varied. In short: highly recommended.

Wonderful tour with Akiko - We loved our food tour with Akiko! It was a great mix of good food, fun games, and history. Akiko was full of great information and made the tour very special. We had a great time and wish we’d done more tours during our time in Japan!

Ike took us on a fabulous food tour! - Ike was a fabulous tour guide. It was the perfect amount of history and relaxation. He made recommendations but also listened to personal preference. He got everyone to talk a little bit about themselves so we all because close on the tour. Food was fantastic and it was just a really enjoyable night. Loved Ike!

A great way to experience many different types of Japanese street food. - This was a three hour tour covering 5 different food stalls/restaurants and a Japanese Knife demonstration in the Tsutenkaku district. The types of food was very varied and generous in size. Guide Kentaro was extremely informative and pleasant, with an excellent sense of humour.

Great food and great conversation in Shibuya - Wes, our guide, was terrific. He told us so much about Tokyo, Japan, and local life - and that was all on top of introducing us to amazing foods in out of the way locations we would never have found on our way. We were stuffed! The evening was a total blast.

Incredible Time Experience Local Cuisine - Had the most incredible time on a retro food tour of Osaka with Akiko! Not only did we have some incredible bites, like okonomiyaki, udon and kushikatsu, we were able to experience local games and shops (we loved the demonstration at Tower Knives so much, we went back the following day to purchase a set)! Akiko was really informative and really showed us a part of Osaka that we would've otherwise missed. Eternally grateful for such a fun experience!
