We had an absolutely fantastic time. Robin was a great host and guide. The choice of food venues was great. We’d never had 100% buckwheat noodles which were delicious. And we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with him learning perspectives of Japanese culture that we otherwise would not have known about. One of the best tours we’ve been on. Highly recommended.

Our favorite tour in Japan
Masa was a fantastic guide who took us to places we otherwise would not have found on our own, mostly small family-owned restaurants where he had personal connections with the owner/operators. The food was also some of the best we had during our time in Japan.
事業者からの返答
thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the small, family-run spots our team loves and supports. Sharing places where we have personal connections is a big part of what makes o8 special. It means a lot to hear the food was among your best in Japan. We hope to welcome you back to Nagano soon!

Fun and food in Nagano!
We had a great time on our Izakaya food tour! We started out with Yakitori, so good! Then we went to visit a local ramen shop handmade by a lady who bicycles to her shop everyday at 6 am to make those noodles. The broth and veggies were amazing! She was so kind to us. We got to see one of Japan’s oldest movie theaters on the way to our next pub stop. The gyoza there was really good! And finally we ended our tour at a local pub run by a gentleman who collects Americana type antiques. Such a walk down memory lane! We would never had experienced such a rich and diverse culture within Nagano without Masa! We are very grateful for the experience - one of the highlights of our trip!

We visited three spots in Nagano with Masa, our amazing & knowledgeable guide. We tried several skewers, tofu, the soba noodles (a must in Nagano) and tasty gyozas. The tour was both insightful and relaxed, we had a great time. We highly recommend Masa and this tour.

Must do in Nagano
I had an amazing time on the Izakaya Food Night Tour in Nagano! Our guide, Masa, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the local food scene. We visited some fantastic izakayas, sampling delicious dishes like fresh sashimi and grilled skewers. Masa shared the cultural significance of each dish, which made the experience even more memorable. He made sure we were comfortable and engaged throughout the tour, and his recommendations were spot on. If you're in Nagano, I highly recommend this tour for a fun and authentic food experience! You will not go back to your hotel hungry.

A day to remember
We had a beautiful evening with an introduction to Japanese culinary culture. In addition to the delicious food, we also had the opportunity to taste some of the drinks specific to Japan. The group was small, which allowed us to have a much more open communication and also created a pleasant atmosphere, and the guide's answers to our questions made us understand Japanese culture better. Thank you once again for the beautiful evening.
