Shinjuku Food Tour in Tokyo Local Eateries

Carla_J, Oct 2026

We were able to enjoy...

We were able to enjoy local foods from places that a tourist would have been unlikely to find. Our guide Theo made sure we tried different foods, seafood, pork & things prepared in a variety of styles. Additionally, he shared a lot of cultural information about Japan & Shinjuku. However, be prepared for a lot of walking in a very busy district.

Satisfy your appetite with Taka from Osaka

Taka from Osaka is a great guide. He taught us about the food and the culture. He speaks English very well. The food and drink choices were excellent. We were treated very well by every restaurant. No one left hungry. In fact there was leftover food at our final stop. Taka made sure that we were safely in a cab on our way back to the hotel at the end of the tour. In fact we were late due to our mistake. The company worked with us so we did not lose our tour. Many companies would not be so kind.

Lovely tour and tour guide

Very good tour! We actually got to see Mount Fuji at the 5th station🗻 Lunch was good and they have notes that tell the different ingredients.

Since it was her 4th time doing this tour, she did a very good job. It was probably because of her we got to see Mount Fuji🗻 (P.S you need to pass her quiz to get home xD)

So much fun!

Ryuya our tour driver was alot of fun! We dressed up in their costumes, watched a quick safety video and headed out into the streets. It was a very fun experience and waving at all the children on the sidewalks brought huge smiles to their faces. One of the carts in our group had some glitches which was frustrating and the guys working the front office came across as crabby. Otherwise we had an excellent experience!

After having several people say we had to do the street cars in Shibuya Tokyo we gave it a shot! And they were right! The communication from the company was great to ensure we had the necessary driving permits, and our guide Xavian was great. The cars were a ton of fun and we made 3 loops across Shibuya Crossing. Xavian even took a ton of photos which they sent us for no charge after the tour! I'd definitely do it again on my next trip to Tokyo.
