This was a lovely food tour, with a nice wee cultural tour through the Asakusa area as well. We booked it for our anniversary and were shown around by the wonderful Hiromi, who was very sweet, and well prepared with her tour, our amazing hidden gem wagyu bbq lunch and some extra market food options for us along the way, and more later on. Definitely come hungry to this haha! We had a lovely time and we're glad to have found some really good food spots through this that we wouldn't have known about or tried had we not done it! Would recommend, it's a fun way to explore an area like Asakusa!

We participated in the tour as a family of four, including our two children aged four and six. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sushi, Yakiniku, and desserts, leaving us all happily full. Although our two energetic sons were a bit noisy at times, our guide was very kind and accommodating. It was especially appreciated that children could join for free, truly making it a kid-friendly tour. It was also excellent to learn about the halal restaurants. Experiencing the local atmosphere of Asakusa made this a memorable tour. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling with children or not. Thank you very much.

A great way to see Asakusa and sample some of the most delicious food. The tour includes the Temple, the Market and a view from the observation deck among others. Our guide, Chi, was so friendly and knowledgeable and shared so much about Japan's culture and people with us. She even took the same train part of the way home with us to make sure we didn't get lost. This was a great way to spend an evening. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A balmy February Sunday made for perfect walking and eating weather. Akira met us promptly and showed us a little of riverside Asakusa before our first stop at Kaminarimon Kisuke, a traditional izakaya. Akira ordered a range of dishes for us to sample. They were all excellent. We then explored Sensoji temple and the shops and stalls surrounding the temple. There were so many foods to sample and people watching to be done. Second lunch was at an enormous sushi restaurant at the top of a shopping centre. Just amazing. We finished our culinary adventure with a matcha latte and very full bellies. Thanks Akira for a great day
