Aki was an incredible guide, very personable and an all around pleasure to spend an evening with. Even more impressive was his ability to work with my wife’s Celiac disease. He made sure I had something to eat and drink at every stop. Cannot say enough good things, nor could I recommend this more highly. Arigatou gozaimasu!

I recently joined a walking tour of Harajuku with ByFood, hosted by Shizuka Anderson, whose YouTube content I’ve followed for quite a while. Meeting her in person was a fun highlight - she’s just as personable and knowledgeable as she appears online. The tour itself was a delightful mix of local insights and foodie stops around Harajuku, and it never felt rushed or overly touristy. If you’ve enjoyed her videos and you’re in Tokyo, I’d definitely recommend booking one of these tours. It’s a great way to experience the city and support a creator who clearly puts a lot of care into her work.

Amazing food and a great atmosphere! Suga was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Every dish was delicious, but my favourites were the udon and the takoyaki. Suga also gave us some history of Shinsekai and Osaka and took us to some landmarks like the Tsutenkaku tower. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Nori, was great. He speaks very good English and is very helpful. He arranged our lunch and all tickets to public transport. Luckily, we had good weather as well so exploring the city couldn’t have been better. We got some good ideas too on where to go in the next couple of days. Thank you, Nori!

Thank you to Aki for providing our group of 4 a wonderful food sampling tour. I am a celiac and was very pleased that you were able to accommodate me. I know finding gluten free options is not always the easiest thing to do in Japan! Our group enjoyed the eclectic and interesting food choices! Thank you for providing the history of the area and interesting facts about Japan. It really added to the enjoyment of our time. We wish you all of the success in your food adventures, your future guest will undoubtably be extremely happy with their time with you!
