Hey there! I'm Stephen, your friendly neighborhood host here in Nagoya. One of the things I adore most about Nagoya is its cuisine – the bold flavors of "Nagoya meshi" are unbeatable. Nagoya strikes that perfect balance, offering plenty to explore without overwhelming you. You'll often find me knee-deep in local festivals and events, whether I'm helping organize them or just soaking up the atmosphere. And after hours? Count me in for some izakaya hopping or catching live music shows in the entertainment districts. So, whether you're a local looking for a new adventure or a visitor eager to dive into Nagoya's rich culture, I'm here to help make your experience unforgettable. Let's explore this amazing city together!

Stephen was extremely knowledgeable about the local food scene and introduced us to some amazing flavors during our Eat Like A Local tour. He knew the area and the shop keepers and maintained an atmosphere of eager curiosity for us. We found this experience to be very memorable and highly recommend him.
