Great fish market tour with Yuki

Yuki was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind. We definitely wouldn’t have been able to navigate the fish market without him.

Incredible way to experience Japan through food and culture

This food tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Japanese food culture, and we were introduced to places and dishes we never would have found on our own. Everything felt authentic rather than touristy, and we loved learning...

great memory made by yourself

Yoko, Yuuka and Keiko have been the best guides and teachers for us! They explained greatly and encouraged us to try everything. They hype you up even when you mess up😆 The pickup and communication was great as well. 10/10 would definitely recommend
