It was a super fun evening with Shizuka san! She was so cheerful and enthusiastic and nice just like what we see on You Tube video. I'm Japanese and have been to Harajuku many times, but I was able to experience new food and new fun activities on this tour. I also enjoyed learning some history side of Harajuku from Shizuka san. Time flew so fast. Thank you for a great tour!

I had the chance to have the Harajuku Sweets & Street Food Tour With Shizuka and all I can say that it was an amazing experience. The whole tour felt so fun and insightful as we visited different places and got to experience different things too. Shizuka as a guide was nothing less than excellent and wonderful, her knowledge about the area as well as the places we visited felt personal and unique. The best part would be how friendly she was and her personality really brings the tour to the next level. Would absolutely recommend the tour to anyone.

My boys (ages 7 and 11), my husband, and I loved the tour of Harajuku so much! Shizuka is an wonderful guide who planned an amazing tour of fun activities and incredible food. She is incredibly engaging, personable, and easy to talk to, making every moment feel relaxed and enjoyable. The history Shizuka shared of Harajuku and Tokyo was great; my husband and I found it fascinating to hear how much the city has changed over time. All the food stops were fantastic, filled with delicious dishes that we enjoyed eating and/or had fun making (dinner). We highly recommend a tour with Shizuka; this was a top highlight of our Tokyo trip!

I recently had the privilege of joining a tour hosted by Shizuka Anderson, and it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. Shizuka was, without a doubt, one of the coolest and kindest guides I’ve ever met. It was clear from the very beginning just how much time and effort she had devoted to preparing for the tour. Her care for every participant shone through in every detail, making it a truly personal and thoughtful experience. Shizuka’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious. She brought a lively and engaging spirit to the group, making every moment enjoyable. Beyond that, she was incredibly attentive and kind, ensuring that everyone felt included and comfortable. Her sincerity was apparent in everything she did, and it’s rare to meet someone so genuine and dedicated to creating a positive experience for others. The tour itself was absolutely fantastic. I had so much fun that I can’t wait to do it again when I return to Japan. Every aspect of it was perfectly organized, which allowed me to fully relax and immerse myself in the experience. Shizuka’s expertise and byFood’s seamless planning made this one of the most enjoyable activities I’ve ever done while traveling. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. If Shizuka and byFood introduce new tours in the future, I’ll be the first to sign up. Thank you, Shizuka, for such an amazing adventure—I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
