Tour Details

This is the perfect tour to make you feel like a true local. We go to several food stops that are hard to access for the regular traveler. Many places in Japan require Japanese so having a guide who can translate and guide you through the menus is key. The neighborhood we explore is filled with quaint eateries, tiny bars, and coffee shops - all of which we taste from.

Fun opportunities pop up along the trip like a classic old candy shop, an award-winning chocolatería, a special sake store, and even a vintage kimono store. While we explore, you will learn the history of the area and have the most gorgeous photo opportunities. It’s a tour you do not want to miss!!!
