Goki was very friendly and easy to talk to. Thought it would be awkward to have dinner with a stranger but it wasn't at all. Goki tailored our tour to our likes and preferences. We ended up going to 3 different places. The food was yummy and the places we went to had a cool local vibe that was not touristy. Goki showed us how a local salaryman would hop from one place to another eating and drinking good food. Overall a very fun night! Highly recommended!
Yakitore & Okonomiyaki🔥🔥 the guide, Goki, took me to great local spots in shibuya that i would not have found on my own. Highly recommended to foodies who want to experience Japanese food culture. Goki is understanding and open-minded and fun 👍👍 Michael 26 Male 🇺🇸
I didn't know what to expect going into it but I had a great time on the tour! Even though I've been living in Tokyo for the past two years Gouki and Sakura brought me to places I've never been before! We had really good sushi and Yakiniku and I learned a lot about how each fish has a specific season where it's the best quality and how Wagyu differs from different areas of Japan even if they're all born in the same place. We ended the night at Shibuya Yokocho where we were serenaded by a guitarist who sang us an Okinawan song we were able to sing along to. I highly recommend booking this tour so you can experience the non-touristy side of Tokyo!
Tour guide took us to places we never would have thought to go. Food was amazing, we even got to cook our own okonomiyaki. Tour guide even took us to a Cafe for dessert after we made a last minute suggestion.
The trip was great, Goki was a great trip guide and expert in Shibuya- my guy lives there and works there. He's probably visited most of the restaurants, izakayas, and bars in the area being a local. We first went to a sushi restaurant with bartop, very personal and delicious sushi. Had a great recommendation from Goki on beer and sushi platter. Next we walked to a local spot with kushikatsu, beer, and sake. Final stop was an izakaya in a spot I'll describe as open air bar market. Some tea and small dish of okonomiyaki. Plus a roaming guitar singer with PA system, never seen that before. I can't plus up enough Goki, he is able to carry straight English conversations with tourists and switch back to fluent Japanese easily with servers and bartenders. Wonderful tour guide. Felt like a friend after the night of tours and wandering the streets 🤠. Country Roads and similar sentiment.
