A wonderful experience with lots of helpful and interesting information about Zenjoki Temple and Nagano. My daughter and I did this while the rest of the family skied and we are so glad we did. The local foods included were very thoughtfully selected and very special. Loved the traditional oyaki dumplings experience in front of the open fire (perfect on the snowy day). Delicious! And the tea and sweets in a store that had once been a tea house were delightful. I bought extra for the family. Our food quirks (I’m a pescatarian and don’t drink alcohol) were taken into account by our host and it was a very enjoyable and informative morning. Thoroughly recommend!!

Food & Cultural Walking Tour Around Zenkoji Temple in Nagano

Bruce was a terrific guide! Rather than yatai hopping down by the canal, Bruce took us to a long-time family run yatai in the Tenjin area that was well-known to him - and they had seats held and waiting for us! But before they were set up and ready to serve, Bruce took us for some 'conveyer belt' sushi nearby. Delicious! At the yatai we tried a variety of delicious foods and ate until we could eat no more. Took a walk after and finish with delicious gelato! We wanted to visit a yatai with a guide because it seemed a bit daunting to us to enter one, sit elbow to elbow with others and try to figure out what to eat! Glad we took the tour - it was a great night!

We did the izakaya food tour with Masa and it’s one of the best things we did on our trip. Masa brought us to some great local izakayas that we wouldn’t have ever found or gone to ourselves. He was super informative; explaining all the different dishes not just from Nagano but all around the country. He was also great to answer questions or queries on Japan and just to have a nice chat. Would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with Midori-san. I enjoyed a local tour with her as my guide, and she was very informative, attentive, and considerate of all my needs. Midori-san also runs her cooking classes and offers many other tours. I highly recommend trying her classes to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and learn many fascinating facts about Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori-san

Bruce is a master host. Not only did he take us to amazing yatais (we're still dreaming about ramen and mochi-wrapped bacon), he provided just the right mix of information, entertainment, and good old-fashioned conversation throughout the evening. Also, his longstanding relationships with the yatai operators were evident - and heartwarming to see. Touring with Bruce was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Vegetarian Food Tours in Japan

The interest in vegetarianism and the plant-based lifestyle has been rising globally, due to ethical and environmental reasons, and Japan is no exception. While Japan has a historically fish-based diet, in recent years the Japanese food scene has been making more attempts to be accommodating of other diets, especially in Tokyo. Vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo are now on the upswing, and there are more and more vegetarian food tours in Japan where people can enjoy their favorite plant-based Japanese foods.

While many of these tours are located in Tokyo, there are also vegetarian food tours in Kyoto and plant-based food tours in Osaka in addition to Hiroshima and other areas across Japan. The variety of experiences include vegetarian street food tours, tea ceremony experiences, and farm tours. During these vegetarian food tours in Japan, you’ll be accompanied by a local guide who will answer your questions about Japanese cuisine, culture, and history. You’ll meet both locals and foreign visitors to Japan, and end the tour with a full stomach and warm memories.
