A great food tour with Ayumi!! She is very knowledgeable and sweet. She made sure we were well fed, helped us figure out which shops were not tourist traps, and navigated us through temple and shrine etiquette. It was definitely more than a food tour with her (but still with excellent food and drinks). We really appreciated her recommendations and came away with full bellies and hearts 💜

A wonderful intro to Japanese food
A first rate experience to encounter Japanese food. Our guide, Sayaka, was knowledgeable (and fluent in English). She took the time to let us look and taste and provided translation and explanations for what we saw. The visit lasted three hours and, in fact, went by very quickly and comfortably since while the market was busy, it was not a uncomfortable crush of visitors as we had experienced on our temple/shrine tours. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the great experience
We had a wonderful market tour with Kazu, who was friendly, warm, and easygoing. We sampled a delicious variety of Japanese specialties, including Wagyu beef, tempura, and sake, and visited a shrine, a temple, and an izakaya for a fantastic blend of food and culture. Kazu also showed us where to find a high-quality Japanese cooking knife.
His insights into Japanese cuisine, culture, and everyday life, combined with the relaxed and personal atmosphere, made the tour especially enjoyable. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful Food Tour
Our guide, Sayaka, was amazing and gave us a wonderful introduction to Japanese cuisine and culture. She walked us through the amazing food court at Daimaru Kyoto, then we tasted local foods at a number of food vendors in The Nishiki Market, and we visited a Buddhist Temple and a Shrine. Our guide was outstanding, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto.
