Hi my name is Anthony and my wife Jemima booked the tour for both of us. We had an amazing time and our guide Ko was super friendly and really fun! He made us all feel really welcome, was great at answering all of our questions and made it a special night for us both. If anyone wants to have a fun time, get to know the sights and a bit of history then I would highly recommend the tour! Thank you to Ko again, we’ll definitely be back to visit soon again. Anthony & Jem.

The Best Food Tours in Tokyo

Tokyo is home to some of the finest sushi restaurants in the world. Tokyo has it all if you're looking for a Michelin-starred establishment or a humble sushi-ya tucked away in a narrow alley. The sushi here is prepared with the utmost precision and attention to detail, using the freshest ingredients sourced from local and international waters.

Another must-try food experience in Tokyo is ramen. This beloved noodle dish has a cult following in the city, with countless ramen shops scattered throughout its neighborhoods.

Slurping a piping hot bowl of ramen in a cozy shop is an experience that will warm both your body and soul.

The Best Street Food in Tokyo

If you’re eager to get in, a walking food tour through the bustling streets of Shibuya or Shinjuku will serve you well. Here you'll find energetic food stalls offering an array of delectable treats. Takoyaki, a popular street food snack, consists of small, savory balls filled with diced octopus, topped with tangy sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. Yakitori, skewered and grilled chicken, is another favorite, with various cuts and flavors available, including succulent chicken thighs and crispy chicken skin. Going in search of these street food delights allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrant food culture of Tokyo and interact with friendly vendors, making it one of the best food tours for solo travelers.
