일본 와규 엔터테인먼트와 함께하는 식사

Great way to start your Japan experience! We were lucky, our group was just 2 persons (just us 😉) so we had the full attention of our guide Masa. He gave a lot of information on the area and its history, on how to order in a restaurant, on the food etc. Gets you started for the rest of your Japan experience. Thanks!

We enjoyed a food tour which started out with 2 Izakayas in/near Omoide Yokocho. At each Izakaya, the tour company has negotiated a pre-set menu of many dishes and drinks. Each customer can then choose up to 3 food items and 3 drinks. The selection was quite good, we had 2 people with seafood allergies and there were still many outstanding things to choose from. The menus also offer a good variety - plenty of things that everyone likes, and a few exotic things for more adventerous travelers! The quality of the dishes were all quite good - we feel we are pretty knowledgeable culinary travelers and we were more than happy with the quality of the food and drink. The evening ended with drinks at one of the small bars in Golden Gai, We got a great tour of the Golden Gai area where we got to see the tiny unique bars and vibrant nightlife. The place we went to had an amazing selection of Japanese Whiskeys and even a few house-made(?) whiskey which was quite good.  The tour company was very easy to deal with - my tour was somewhat customized, and they were kind enough to arrange for our guide to meet us at our hotel, saving us from having to search and locate the designated meeting place.  Our guide, Masa was outstanding and a delightful, fun travel companion. He pointed out other sights all along our walking route, including a Shinto shrine and the Godzilla head. Our group is on the older side, and Masa's enthusiasm gave the whole tour a fun vibe for everyone!!!

Wow. I cannot give enough superlatives to the wonderful wagyu beef,dining experience. Our guide showed us Kyoto nighttime sites after the dinner. What a plus!!!! You need to book this.

This was an amazing experience. Hiroshi and I communicated several times via Whatsapp after I booked the experience to confirm various details and plan something special for my husband's birthday. The entire night far exceeded my expectations. The wagyu dinner was fabulous. We were in a private room at a takiniku restaurant near the meeting point. We had a variety of beef cuts, rice, and vegetables, and Hiroshi expertly prepared everything on the grill right in front of us while telling us about the different cuts and how Japanese beef is categorized. As a surprise for my husband, we even bought a beautiful cholocate dessert to bring out at the end of the meal. After dinner, Hiroshi took us on a walking tour of Gion and took dozens of photos of us at the temples and shrines and other photogenic spots around the neighborhood. He also told us about the history of Gion and it's specific customs. The tour went well beyond the brief tour mentioned in the description and was one of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto. Hiroshi is a fantastic tour guide, an engaging host, and did an amazing job of making my husband's birthday extra special.

Hiro was a great guide and besides taking us to some wonderful food places, also gave us a quick and thorough trip through Gion. Great communication and worth the time. Certainly would have him take us to other places you'd miss as a tourist.

Our guide Hiro was perfect! Really good beef and really nice tour of Gion. I would do it again :)
