Tokyo 烤鸡肉串 美食之旅

Absolutely amazing food! Makayla was awesome and took us to some really good spots for food. Never would have known about these places without this tour and would have really missed out on some great food. Thanks Makayla!

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!!!

Aki knows Ueno, and it shows. It was a mix of new food experiences and great cultural learning. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to eat like a local and learn more about japan in general.

Sahori was a great guide, super nice and very interesting. The places she took us to were great.

Aki is a great guide! Had lots of fun, great food and learnt about Ueno. Went to places we’d never have gone on our own, and all dietary reqs were well catered for. Highly recommend booking this tour.

Aki provided a very engaging night walking around the Ueno area. Lots of interesting food and social culture! Thanks Aki!

Wonderful experience with Aki learning more about Japanese food and drink culture, with tons of delicious food in establishments that truly felt local. We were also super grateful for him working around a gluten sensitivity and saw that he was attentive to various food preferences amongst our group. Learned about the Ueno area and had an all around fantastic time!

We had such a fun time! Our tour guides were polite and knowledgeable and we learned so much about the area.

This experience was absolutely amazing!! Annie was a fantastic guide and gave an amazing history of the area and the food. The food was delicious, of course, and it was so fun to be able to visit an area frequented by locals and have a bilingual guide there to order at the food stands. Definitely recommend!

Aki showed us a lot of gems you usually would not find by yourself. Had a great time and had lovely food and drinks.

Aki was an incredible guide, very personable and an all around pleasure to spend an evening with. Even more impressive was his ability to work with my wife’s Celiac disease. He made sure I had something to eat and drink at every stop. Cannot say enough good things, nor could I recommend this more highly. Arigatou gozaimasu!
