Experience food tours in
Kobe with Withlocals

"We had 10 tastings experience with Hiromi and I can highly recommend it. We have read so many posts and watched many videos about Osaka eateries and street food, but it is so different to what Hiromi showed us. The food was amazing with every place and dish carefully chosen to wow us. I would definitely do it again if I come back to Osaka. "

"We finished our tasting tour with Hiromi, last night. She was knowledgeable and an excellent teacher throughout the experience but what really made it special was that she customised the experience on the fly as she learned about what we wanted to get out of it. We got to try new things and Hiromi kept taking us to better and better spots as the night went on. She delivered a truly wonderful tour."

"The tour with Naoki was great! He was a formidable host! Punctual, kind and super insightful! In addition to the food he also showed us some hidden temples and shrines. He took the time to explain to us the rituals and meaning if those places ! We memorable experience, thank you very much ! "

"Hiroki was really nice and chill. He told us about culture and history as we walked (our preference) through the city through different shrines, churches etc while we tasted different foods. When he found out I preferred gluten free he accommodated us with the food spots. We got a really nice diverse tour of the city which was great for our few days in Osaka. I’m sure he would also tour you through Kyoto!"

"We did 3 Withlocals tours in Japan and this one was our favorite! Hiromi really added to the experience. It wasn’t just tasting foods but learning some history of the foods and Japan. We loved some of the places she showed us so much that we went back for seconds that same night 🙈. Cannot recommend this tour enough! She also tailored to our likes which we really appreciated. "

"Hiromi was warm and welcoming and knowledgable about the origins and types of food! We had must-try Osaka foods and she shared some of her usual lunch spots with us. She even gave us locals suggestions to further explore Osaka away from the tourists. I only wish we had scheduled our tour on day 1 or 2 of our visit to Osaka. We'll definitely recommend her to friends in the future! "

"Our group of 4 had an amazing evening sampling some of the best food in Osaka. Hiromi was so kind and patient with us as we walked around town stepping into delicious spaces what from the crazy crowds. Everything was fantastic and Hiromi also shared her knowledge of the history of the different areas we visited as well as the food we were eating. We had tons of questions about Japanese culture and everyday life in Osaka she was happy to share. She also gave us many recommendations for other places we shouldn’t miss as well as answered some follow up questions we had the next day. We had a flexible evening trying different foods we’d heard about or shouldn’t miss on our visit to Osaka. Take a tour wish Hiromi on your visit here! It will be a highlight of your trip."

"We had a great food tour with Hiromi. She introduced us to a lot of interesting foods, and tailored the tour to our food preferences. She also introduced us to interesting aspects of Osaka culture. We had a number of questions about Japanese culture that she also answered for us. Her English was excellent, having spent time in Canada and the United States in the past. We enjoyed our time with her very much and would highly recommend her."

"We had a great time! Walking together trough the streets was so much fun! Hiromi didn‘t only ordered food for us and had great recommendations for traditional drinks, but told us a lot about the area! We would definitely recommend the tour with her to our friends. "

"Jessica took us on an incredible food journey through Osaka that was absolutely unforgettable! We’d already been in Japan for two weeks, sampling so many different foods, but Jessica made our experience extra special by asking about everything we’d already tried and customizing our tastings to introduce us to new and unique flavors. She has a true foodie’s knowledge and passion, sharing local specialties that we would have never thought to try on our own. The Fami Chiki “secret” was such a cool surprise! It’s something we would have missed if not for her insider knowledge. Not to mention, the tour was generous—SO much food! We were absolutely packed by the end, and every bite was delicious. Jessica was incredibly attentive and so fun to hang out with. We had great conversations, not just about food but about Japan and so much more. If you’re looking for a guide who’s passionate, knowledgeable, and just great company, Jessica is the one. Highly recommend!"
