Picture this: a local foodie taking you to the hidden gems of Tokyo, from the tastiest street food to cozy restaurants serving up the best traditional dishes. Whether you're into sampling street food, exploring local markets, or dining at off-the-beaten-path spots, your guide will create a tour that's all about enjoying the true flavors of Tokyo.

The best part? These food tours are just for you. No big crowds, no fixed menus – it's all about what you want to taste and experience. Whether you're snapping photos of colorful dishes, learning the stories behind the food, or simply savoring each bite, the tour moves at your pace.

And it's not just about the city. You can also take a day trip to nearby areas, where you can visit vineyards, farms, or coastal towns to enjoy fresh, local specialties. If you're new to Tokyo, start with a food tour that gives you a taste of everything – it's like a friendly introduction to the city's best bites, guided by someone who knows every delicious corner.

So, when you're in Tokyo, skip the touristy spots. Take a private food tour and discover the real flavors that make Tokyo special. Get ready to eat like a local and make your trip truly memorable!

      Excellent Tour

      "Would thoroughly recommend this experience, an opportunity to get a little off the beaten track and eat a variety of foods that are more local fare. Seden was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgable, accommodating and the children made to feel engaged and welcome. "

      Tastebud's Flavorful Journey

      "Our group of 4 had an amazing tour with Seden. We should have come hungrier as by the end we couldnt even finish our ramen and gyoza tasting but made room for a fruit mochi dessert! From dango to sushi, we covered a variety of foods and flavors in a less known area of Tokyo on top of learning about the uniqueness of Japan culture from our guide. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week trip. "

      Street Food Tour- Kichijoji

      "My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful street food tour with Sena. We met her in Kichijoji- walked the streets together sampling favorite foods- visited specialty stores and found lots of treats to bring home. Sena is easy to talk with, has lots of suggestions for places to see and really enjoys helping people make the most of their time in Japan. A wonderful guide and new friend. Highly recommend her tours. "

      Drinks and bites in Tokyo

      "My friend Jane and I arrived today to Japan from the US and did the drinks and bites tour with Sena at 5 pm to see some sights. Sena was so sweet and gave us lots of options. First we went to a delicious sushi spot and had a number of delicious items. Then we went to an amazing goyza place which was crispy and juicy. We ended with beautiful ice cream and fruit parfaits. Everything was delicious and we learned a lot about the district and saw the busiest intersection in the world. Sena helped us navigate the subway system for the first time and made sure our taxi driver got us home safely. She has lived in the US for 2 years so definitely knows Americans and her English is excellent. I would highly recommend Sena! "

      Great Intro to Tokyo Food

      "Alejandro was fantastic! My wife and I did the Drinks & Bites tour with Alejandro and we loved the neighborhood our tour took place in. One thing we really appreciated was that Alejandro was able to accommodate my wife's vegetarian diet, which other tour guides in Japan have been reluctant to do. From the izakaya he took us to, to the great market, to the wonderful conversation over our shared hobby, we had a wonderful time!"
