We really enjoyed our tour of Shimbashi. Our guide, Chisato, was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with. We visited many interesting spots, enjoyed a delicious lunch where we cooked our own beef at the table, and stopped at a local beer hall. We even left the tour with some wonderful treats to try later! It was a great way to explore Shimbashi and experience the neighborhood. Highly recommend, especially with Chisato!

Backstreets, Good Food, and a Well-Tailored Experience
I ended up having a one-on-one tour, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed. My guide tailored the evening based on what I had already tried and where I had been, which I really appreciated after traveling through multiple cities.
We spent time walking through back alleys and small market streets, even on a Sunday evening, which gave a different and more local perspective of Tokyo. It wasn’t rushed, and there was space to simply take it all in.
What stood out most was how thoughtful the experience was. It didn’t feel scripted, and the guide adjusted naturally throughout the evening. He even helped me find the last souvenir I had been looking for, which was a nice unexpected touch.
Overall, a very enjoyable and genuine way to end my trip.

Such a wonderful evening...
This is an absolute must for any trip to Tokyo—or Japan as a whole. It was a truly enjoyable and memorable experience, offering a fantastic introduction to a fun and varied selection of local restaurants and eateries in Ginza.
The evening was brilliantly organised, and our guide was a thoroughly lovely chap—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating local stories that really brought the experience to life. It was the perfect blend of great food, good company, and cultural insight.
A wonderful way to spend an evening and create lasting memories. Many thanks for such a delightful experience.

Perfect private tour.
Had a rocky start as meeting point once more did was nit correct but a beautiful local lady dropped what she was doing to help me reach out to the guide and helped us meet up as l was the only one on the tour luckily no one else was put out.We started with a quick walk around and then a truly amazing meal which was very generous from there my tour guide asked me if there was anything l wanted to do and he then personalised the tour to what l wanted to do and as l had another group booking stright after we made our way towards my dinner booking which was truly amazing after visiting some shops and finding everything l wanted we also visited a few temple and then another geat meal in a tucked away restaurant which is generally a local haunt then made our way through the market to the train station with perfect directions to my next experience thank you so much to my guide Naoto Kato it was an honour spending the day with you.

Not worth it
It’s not worth the money.
The guide Kato was nice, the food was good but it was very short, and we only ate at 3 places for a very cheap price.
Kato decided to finish 1h early so we felt a bit ripped off: 300$+ for 3 hours and ate for 100$ at most. The guide said he had a budget for the food so I’m not sure what was his calculation, but it was a good payday for him I guess. He even cashed in the points for the drinks we’ve paid which is a weird thing to do without asking first.
It’s also a bit awkward to have someone at the table who only eats what you’re giving him.
We expected a more rich experience with explanations on specific stuff we were eating or drinking. Instead it felt like we were just being fed.

Another Side of Tokyo
Highly recommended. Why? Because this gets you away from the standard "touristy" destinations that everybody goes to, such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ginza. Here, you get to see a more earthy side of Tokyo that some call "Salaryman Paradise." I thought it was very interesting, including a stand up sushi bar that I otherwise would never have gone to. Caveat: If you are expecting glitz and glamour, this is not the tour for you. This is not high brow entertainment. You won't see many Westerners or tour busses in this area.

Hidden gems in Shimbashi
Hiromi was an excellent guide once again. She actually tailored this tour based on my conversations the previous night in the Shibuya tour. I’m really glad to do Shimbashi as it has a mix of everything - from eating where locals eat in Shimbashi, to amazing sky scaper views of Tokyo, to the extravagant night lights of Ginza which ended at a kissaten (classic Japanese cafe) with pancakes.

Awesome food and walking tour
It was a great tour! Kato-san was awesome and took us to 3 great eating places. The first was unique takoyaki.. it was great. We would have never had this. He even took us on walking tour around the area. And pointed out places to come back to. Would highly recommend Kato-san and this tour!

Personal Restaurant Guide in Shimbashi!
We so appreciated Naoto’s experience navigating around the busy Shimbashi and Ginza district, so we could get an insiders guide to all the best food. It was very convenient to walk right into two restaurants (Japanese BBQ and Sushi) and have Naoto order everything for us and explain it all. Sometimes even when you are surrounded by so much food, it can be overwhelming choosing where to go. This is where a guide comes in handy!
Highly recommend! It was fun to end the tour in the Ginza district and take in all the beautiful stores.
