Kaz did a fantastic job giving us a tour of the local restaurants, history of the city, and the historic sites. Tasting the different, unique foods was amazing. It was also amazing to know that the restaurants and stores we visited have been there for decades and, in some cases, more than a century. Kaz was super friendly and very informative and so easy to talk to. We really enjoyed the entire tour with him.

There really is nothing quite like biting into a local specialty and realizing the recipe has outlasted a few generations (and maybe a century or two!). It’s our absolute favorite kind of delicious time travel, and we love sharing those hidden, historic gems with new friends. Thanks for hanging out and eating your way through history with us.

Great food tour, great area of Osaka
Our guide Akiko spoke very good English, was very interesting about the whole area, described the history, took us to a knife shop, a panchenko experience, as well as very tasty food. As we are vegetarian/ pescatarian she had to work hard at finding us interesting food - but it was great. Thank you Akiko

A delicious visit to Sugamo
Clara was an excellent host and made sure we had plenty of snacking opportunities in the lovely quiet town of Sugamo. The three hours flew by and we all really enjoyed the tour

An enjoyable corner of Tokyo
Our three-hour daytime food tour of Sugamo was much more than a simple tasting experience. We sampled a wonderful variety of dishes from local shops, beginning with dorayaki—two light pancakes filled with red bean paste and a slice of butter—served warm alongside brown tea. The addition of local butter is Sugamo’s own twist on this classic Japanese sweet. Throughout the tour, we tried rice crackers, traditional sweets, and yet another style of dorayaki. Our lunch stop featured soba noodles in a rich duck broth.
Trevor, our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, seamlessly blending history, food culture, and local stories. We visited two shrines and chatted with several residents, who greeted us with smiles and genuine curiosity. These small interactions added a warm, personal touch to our time in this charming corner of Tokyo.

Wonderful food and neighborhood tour.
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful day with our tour guide Ully. It was a joy to spend the day with her talking about not only Japan and its food and culture, but also about family and life in general. She is quite young chronologically but an “old soul” in terms of spirit and insight. Her knowledge of the local food and culture of the region was impressive and gave us a much better understanding and appreciation for the food of the region and how history helped to shape it. Thank you, Ully, for making us feel like we were old friends and family that you were taking on a private food tour!

She truly has a gift for connecting with guests, sharing not only her deep knowledge of local food and culture but also thoughtful reflections on life and family. We’re thrilled that her insight helped you gain a richer appreciation of the region’s cuisine and history. Being described as both welcoming and like an “old soul” perfectly captures the warmth she brings to her tours. Thank you for highlighting how she made you feel like old friends enjoying a private food adventure together. Ully will be delighted to know her guidance and companionship made your experience so memorable!

Cold Soba is the best!
We really enjoyed this food tour in a neighborhood of Tokyo that we likely would not have visited on our own. Serena was an excellent guide, offering up plenty of history, culture, and food knowledge. Lunch was excellent and the other food stops were a lot of fun. Direction on where to meet where clear and location easy to find with the help of Google Maps. Would definitely book again.

Great tour led by Clara.
A really nice experience in Sugamo, out of the centre but a food and health pilgrimage place. Our guide, Clara, is from Guatemala but naturalised in Japan and clearly has studied the culture and the food. She was very knowledgeable and arranged a great tour. Highlights were the drop scones with bean paste and butter, and the tempura eel for lunch. Also the Buddha washing- you have to have done this to understand.

Thank you for sharing such a lovely review of your time in Sugamo with Clara! It's a special part of Tokyo, and we're so glad you appreciated its unique charm and energy. Clara's passion for Japanese culture really shines through, and it's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed both the delicious bites and the meaningful moments, like the Buddha washing! Come back anytime for more hidden gems!
