Eat like a Local in Kanazawa

Jorge, went the extra mile to make our time with him very memorable. To the unique stores, markets, and out of the way temples

Amazing food and good conversations!

Akihiro was very knowledgeable and kind. He asked questions about what we liked and took us to places that would fit our tastes. He made recommendations for things to see.

Yokohama Private Food Tours with a Local: 100% Personalized

This is a great way to see how the locals eat. Our guide took us off the beeten path offering us great historic facts about the city while sharing resturants and dishes we would have never found. The meals were great and she was able to cater the experiance to what we were looking for.

A fantastic tour of Hiroshima with Yuka

Yuka was the perfect guide for me! She was very easy to talk with, and we had a lot of personal tastes in common! Tasty okonomiyaki, beautiful gardens, and a fun standing bar made for a perfect tour.

Amazing local experience!

He took me to some local places I never would have found or even known to try. We sampled delicious drinks and amazing food a lot of which is local to the Nagasaki region.

Ai is my hero

I did two tours with Ai and both were incredibly fun!

Nagoya: Private and Personalized Eat Like a Local Tour

It was nice to be able to have a pleasant and enjoyable time at a Japanese restaurant of the level I wanted. It was also nice to have the time to find nearby attractions while taking the subway and listen to detailed explanations while experiencing them.

Ryuki was very knowledgeable and friendly, with great food recommendations.

Ryuki’s knowledge of the food scene combined with his vast knowledge of Kyoto and Japanese history made for a truly unique and fun experience. We tried new foods, went to a standing bar that we never would have visited on our own.

Hokkaido Sake Brewery and Tasting Tour

This experience was well worth the investment. We tried several different sakes and had meaningful conversations as well.

Sapporo Food Tour with a Local Guide

Ryuki is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had the best ramen ever in a restaurant that I would never have visited without his guidance. He also took me to the seafood market in susukino as well as a sky site and mountain top. Quite an enjoyable experience.

Osaka Street Food Tour with a Local Foodie: Private & 100% Personalized

Loys was our guide and he took us on a culinary journey to remember. We experienced the first conveyer belt sushi and my firsts there was whelk (sea snail) and whale skin - both were a bit chewy but new adventures, we walked the food alley and had another great adventure- my grandkids had baby octopus on a stick - they crushed it - and then the pinnacle- blow fish. Lots of taste adventures from the best and freshest mochi to yakitoki. Bravo to Loys!!

Sapporo Food Tour with a Local Guide

Ryuki took me to a restaurant where I had the best Japanese noodles ever. he also took me to the famous seafood market in Susukino area. prior to that we drove to a ski site and a mountain top for a panoramic view of the city. good exercise before an enjoyable meal.

Sapporo Food Tour with a Local Guide

My family and I had a great time with Shiunn. It was like we were hanging out with a friend and everything went fluidly. Shiunn brought us to multiple locations and had back-up plans for when the initial restaurant was not available. We had such a great food experience in Sapporo that we ended up going to a restaurant she recommended the next day! She picked us up at our hotel, walked around the city, got lunch at 2 locations, and finished off with dessert.

Exellent guide

It was a food tour and we get a super overview

Going beyond expectations

Best guide we have had in Japan or traveling anywhere in the world. Extremely helpful and willing to make sure we had the best experience possible

Private Food Tasting Walking Tour

Akari was an excellent host. She was in touch after making the booking and worked with me to tailor the experience to what I was looking for, in this case local sushi and the seasonal delicacy Crab. She managed to get a booking at a sort out place with little notice. Would highly recommend.

Instagrammable Osaka-style Food Tour

This tour is definitely a must for travelers in Osaka! our guide Taku, was amazing and catered to our dietary preferences perfectly (we are both vegetarian). He was very knowledgeable and showed us some really lovely food locations but also some great cultural places and shopping. Highly recommend!

Eat Like a Local in Nagoya

Toshi was awesome and tailored the food tour to what I was interested. He’s lived an awesome life and was a great conversationalist and was really good and patient with answering a bunch of questions. Hit his tour up and have a great time

Fumiko was a top notch tour guide!

I’d made a mistake scheduling with the 24hr clock so Fumiko was in our lobby ready to head out at 8am. Naturally we weren’t quite prepared for a tour at that hour so Fumiko was very flexible and accommodating to reschedule for later the same day. Once we finally headed out on the tour Fumiko took us to a handful of spots where we could sample traditional Japanese street food. Word of advice - pace yourselves at each spot otherwise you will fill up FAST! It was a wonderful experience and Fumiko was a joy to spend time with. Would do it again. 10/10
