Had an amazing food tour through Hondori street in Hiroshima. Taken to hidden gems that we would have never stopped at on our own. Went to an authentic local stall where Hiroshima okonomiyaki was made in front of us and also ate some local oysters. It was definitely a lot of food and was very fun. Would definitely recommend this tour.
We couldn’t recommend this tour enough, Olivia (our guide) was extremely lovely and took us on a tasty tour around Hiroshima where we were able to try foods that we never would have, if not for the tour. All of the food was delicious and the drink pairings were perfect and we had a lovely evening. We were even treated to some lovely gifts and souvenirs from local shops in between our food stops. I would definitely book this tour.
What a lovely experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We’re thrilled to hear Olivia helped make your evening in Hiroshima so enjoyable. Introducing guests to new flavors, local specialties, and hidden gems is one of our favorite parts of these tours, so it’s wonderful to know you discovered foods you may not have tried otherwise. We’re also delighted that the drink pairings, local gifts, and warm atmosphere added to such a memorable evening. Thank you for your recommendation!

The tour delivered as promised on providing a wide range of food options from across town - we were stuffed! But what made it great were the sights and sounds from the many neighborhoods and different types of eating establishments that we stopped at - a feast for all senses. And our guide kept things so relaxed throughout the evening- no sense of rushing. It was a great night out.

Nagi was a fantastic guide who provided a deeper understanding of the food by explaining its origins alongside insightful conversations about Japanese life and culture. This tour offered a unique glimpse into a side of Japan that many tourists miss, making it a must for anyone seeking an authentic slice of the local food scene. The itinerary was diverse and well-paced, featuring several memorable highlights: Trendy Craft Brewery: A surprising find in Japan, offering tasty beers with a local twist paired with excellent snacks. Sake Tasting: An educational session exploring various sake varieties and subtle flavors, accompanied by perfectly paired small dishes. Okonomimura: Our personal favorite was visiting this multi-story building filled with small restaurants, where we enjoyed an incredible meal at a teppanyaki stall.
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review of your tour in Hiroshima! We're delighted to hear that Nagi helped provide such a meaningful and authentic experience through both incredible food and deeper cultural insight. It's so wonderful that the tour offered such a unique perspective on Japan beyond the typical beaten path, while also enjoying all the different, memorable stops! We love to hear how much you enjoyed each part of the entire experience, from discovering the craft beer with a local twist, to learning about sake through the tasting and pairings, and even the vibrant and atmospheric Okonomimura. It sounds like you were able to have such a fantastic culinary journey, and we're especially glad your teppanyaki experience quickly became a personal favorite. Thank you for your kind recommendation, we truly and full-heartedly appreciate it!
Masa provided us with a great experience of Hiroshima food and culture. We experienced a local beer brewery, sake bar, pastries & the highlight was the best okonomiyaki in Hiroshima! Masa was very generous with his time and ensured our tastes were catered for. This tour costs a lot more than other food tours and, whilst we enjoyed it and Masa was great, I’m not sure it is worth the money.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear you had a great time exploring Hiroshima’s food and culture with Masa. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the variety of stops, from local drinks to pastries, and of course, the okonomiyaki! We’re especially glad Masa made the experience personal and tailored to your tastes. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
Aleef Daniel was an incredible tour guide! He shared with us his favorite local Hiroshima cuisines (okonomiyaki was our favorite) and was very knowledgable about the foods and the area. He was nice and very easy to get along with, from start to finish. We had an incredible time and would do this tour again!
Wow, what a great review! We are so happy to hear that you had such an incredible and amazing time with Aleef in Hiroshima, he loves being able to show guests the area's many stories and delicious foods. We especially love that you enjoyed the okonomiyaki the most, it really is one of Hiroshima's highlights! Thank you for all your kind words, we will make sure to let Aleef know how much you enjoyed your time with him!
We really enjoyed the variety of food and sights on this tour. Guiding is so beneficial when you are in a city you are not familiar with. In three hours we saw and tasted things that we may not have found in a week of searching. Our guide Ami was fantastic too. Would highly recommend.
