Private Food Tour for the win! 🥇 - We loved our private tour with Shota! It was so refreshing to meet with and talk to a local taking us to spots outside of the tourist area. He built an itinerary around our likes/interests and gave us travel tips for our next adventures. Food was delicious and the drinks hit the spot! Thanks Shota!!

Great experience, delicious food and drink! - I would rate this 10 stars if I could! Mr. Tokyo was great, and showed us a number of locations we would never have found ourselves. Plus, we had great conversation and learned about Japanese culture, history, drinks, and much more along the way. We will definitely do this again the next time we are in Tokyo!

Great Introduction to Tokyo - What a great way to be introduced to Tokyo. Mr. Tokyo took us to local restaurants, as opposed to the touristy spots and made great recommendations. In addition to the restaurants he gave us a tour of the popular areas and ended our night at a beautiful sake bar. Highly recommend this food tour.

David’s( from South Africa) Review - Mr Tokyo was a fantastic tour guide. If I could, I would rate this tour more than 10 out of 10. He took me to some of the places frequented by locals, which made the experience more authentic and provided great insight into Japanese culture. I would highly recommend this tour for the first day in Tokyo.

The REAL Tokyo Night — 100% worth it - This was honestly the highlight of our Japan trip!!! Shota (Mr.Tokyo) took us to hidden izakayas and secret bars we never would’ve found on our own, No tourist traps, just real local spots with incredible food and drinks. What made it special was Shota himself. He’s friendly, confident, and genuinely cares about your experience. Everything felt effortless (ordering, moving around, choosing the perfect places), and he tailored the night to our vibe perfectly. If you want a real Tokyo night and an unforgettable experience, book with Shota. 10/10 would do it again.

Excellant food and guide - We had a great time with Shota tonight. He was so accommodating and flexible. Really catered the tour to our specific interests. He had good stories and showed us a side of Tokyo we would never have seen on our own. And the food was amazing.

10/10, start here on your Tokyo trip! - A tour with MrTokyo is a must for first time visitors. There’s so much food and culture that we would not have been able to get the most of without his tour - and it feels like you’re just out to eat with a friend! We had a blast spending the night with you and would do it again in a heartbeat.
