We had a great evening with Lin and Olivia. We got to see Geisha during the tour and sampled lots of local cuisine and daily life. It was a great way to learn about Kyoto without any struggle to understand. A personalised experience I would recommend to others.

Delicious and entertaining. Highly recommend!
We had such a great time with the knowledgeable and entertaining Tak-san. Many food experiences that we wouldn't have had otherwise. So great to experience Pontocho with a local!

Delicious and delightfully educational!
Absolutely the best food tour I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Lin, shared expert insights not just about the region’s cuisine but also its rich history and the culture of the geisha district. She answered all our questions—and then some. I haven’t laughed so much in ages while chatting about different cultural norms!

Great energy and lovely guide
We did the Pontocho Food Tour in Kyoto last week and had a really great time. ‘H’ was our guide and what a lovely, funny, knowledgeable man he is. We learned so much about Kyoto and, in particular, the Pontocho and Gion Shirakawa districts. We loved the food and drinks and it was so good to experience that part of the city on a busy Saturday night.

Amazing Food Tour with Hiro!
My friends and I had a great evening! Our guide, Hiro, was amazing! We had a great time getting to know him and he told us lots of interesting things about the area and food. We also got some great recommendations on where to buy a yukata and matcha tea. It was a rainy day, but that did not matter at all. We walked a bit around the area and visited a couple of restaurants. Hiro ordered some very delicious dishes and recommended some very tasty sake. Overall an amazing evening and definitely recommend this food tour and Hiro!

A must tour while visiting Kyoto
"Our experience on the Pontocho Food Tour with Noboru was absolutely fantastic. It was one of the best food tours I have ever been on. Noboru started the tour with a wonderful tour around Gion, which set the perfect stage for our culinary adventure. Throughout the tour, we indulged in a wide array of delicious foods, including yakitori, sweet fish, soba noodles, pickled plums in various preparations, and a flavorful broth made with local spices. One of the highlights was visiting an Izakaya, where we got a true taste of Japanese pub culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Japanese cuisine and immerse themselves in the local food scene. Noboru's expertise and passion for food truly made this tour a memorable and authentic experience.
