Aya was a wonderful instructor and patiently explained the history and significance of the tea ceremony in Japanese culture. After first illustrating the process Aya then gave us my wife and I the opportunity to prepare tea for each other which was a great experience.
After the ceremony was concluded we noticed a wall full of tea bowls which Aya allowed us to purchase from and it was comforting to know we could go home with a high quality souvenir from local craftsmen.

Food Tours
My wife and I had an amazing time with KT on the Mystery Bike Tour! She gave us a look at a side of Japan we would never have found without her guidance. Not only did she show us some quirky sites (I won’t spoil them for you) but we rode through some very peaceful areas as well. We never expected to find such serene locations only a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya Crossing (15-20 min travel).
KT is so cool! She tailored the experience around our dietary preferences and fitness level. The food she introduced us to was delicious and not too heavy for the long bike ride. Her english is exceptional, and the information she shared was very interesting.
Honestly, this was one of our favorite experiences during our 2-week stay in Japan. We are from the USA.
If you are looking for a true Japanese experience outside of the typical tourist traps, book this tour! Especially if you are looking for a bit of exercise during your trip.
We plan to book with KT again the next time we are in Tokyo.

Shizuka's professional preparation, selection of places, and personality made an exceptional tour. The tour also included places that weren't food-oriented which made it fun. The highlight was the self-made okonomiyaki and the gacha site. We travel to Japan every year. I hope to take another tour with Shizuka in another neighborhood. Thank you, Shizuka!!!

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.
