So, he knows what he is talking about! He is well known when it comes to speaking about what is what Shinjuku.This tour is a chance to visit the restaurants that he has selected and that even very few Japanese people can get in. For this tour, we have chosen three restaurants, one in each of the three districts.

Tokyo: Shibuya Food Tour (13 dishes and 3 Eateries)

Catherine_M, Apr 2026

Nathan Best Shibuya Food Tour

Nathan was awesome! It was a great tour and we enjoyed all of the cultural references he explained. The food was amazing and delicious and we are planning on going back to our first stop for dinner tonight! Thanks again and we would love to come back for another tour in the future.

Tokyo Luxury Sumo Experience with Deluxe Japanese Cuisine

Heather_S, Mar 2026

Yes, this is a very...

Yes, this is a very "tourist" experience. And I was a bit worried. But it was SO much fun. Very international crowd and yet everyone had a smile on their face and was having fun. And we learned a lot about Sumo wrestling. I definitely recommend. If you want to watch a true/real sumo match, go elsewhere. If you want to learn some things about sumo, eat/drink and be entertained in the process, go here. We had a front row sofa seat and definitely had more interaction with the sumo wrestlers and emcee (and a really fun bag of gifts), but the entire venue is small so any seat is good. Enjoy!

Koko was absolutely...

Koko was absolutely fantastic and made us feel super welcomed! Her English is very good and her teaching method is super simple and easy to follow. I’m super happy we booked this (last minute btw). We also were the only ones doing the sushi making at that time so it felt private for us :) The place is designed for these classes yet also served as a functional sushi restaurant with patrons inside.

Tokyo Traditional Geisha Show and Japanese Food Experience

Xarea_M, Feb 2026

Beautiful and so welcoming

Going to the show/dinner was a great experience for someone who is new to Japan. I enjoyed myself and love the games we played and the traditional dance we watched was beautiful! I love that the women are very social with you and you can ask them anything. I truly do appreciate the women who was with us tonight because they made it a wonderful experience!

Unique Private Cooking Class with a Tokyo Local Emi

Natalia_T, Dec 2025

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend it!

I had an excellent experience with Emi's cooking lesson. From the first moment, her communication was excellent, her instructions to find the studio were spot-on, and her poise, personality and knowledge were amazing. I learnt how to cook three recipes, some tricks and alternative ingredients available in my country and we chatted over a shot of sake. Time flew, because her personality is magnetic. Do not skip this activity! It will be the highlight of your time in Tokyo!

Small-Group Wagyu Beef and 7 Japanese Dishes Tokyo Cooking Class

Leona_M, Nov 2025

A wonderful introduction to Japanese cuisine

This was one of the best cookery classes we have been to but it is a difficult building to locate. Aya and Hidemi were excellent instructors. The food we cooked was amazing - I couldn't believe that we cooked so much in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend this cookery class for anyone visiting Tokyo who has an interest in Japanese cuisine.

Asakusa Classic Ramen & Crispy Gyoza Cooking Class

Jacqueline_W, Oct 2025

Best cooking class!

This is the second cooking class we have taken on our current Japan trip and this one is the ONE! We learned so much and had fun at this class. The food was so good. Our friends did the first class with us and not this one and we are so sad they missed this experience. I can not recommend this class enough!

You are missing out if you don't book this now!

Just fantastic. If my grandmother was Japanese and had a cooking class in the middle of Tokyo, yet in a very quiet and peaceful residential area, this would be it! Class is 10 people, very clean informative and friendly. I've taken similar courses in other cities but this was my favorite!

Japanese Pottery Class in Tokyo

Michael_B, Sep 2025

Mr. Hoshi an old world master

Mr. Hoshi is an amazing pottery master, even though he is so modest. Very thorough and patient teaching brought the plate maker out of my wife and the cup maker out of me. We both layered the rice bowl as well. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty in tariffs and shipping, we were jot able to take our creations home. But we will return and do this again. The class size was small and you get a lot of help, attention, and praise from Mr.Hoshi. bravo!!!

Shibuya All You Can Eat Best Food Tour The Original One in Tokyo

Jessica_R, Jul 2025

Delicious, Fun, and High Quality – A Must-Do Tokyo Food Tour!

This was one of the best food tours I have ever done. Kato was our fabulous guide. He was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Japanese food and culture. His communication before and after the tour was exceptional. We knew exactly where to meet and when, and he answered questions ahead of time. Afterward, he sent us photos and even shared extra recommendations. The food was excellent and truly all-you-can-eat, which is rare for a food tour, especially one with this level of quality. We had takoyaki, dorayaki, and obanyaki, followed by a generous yakiniku dinner and an incredible sushi feast at a local izakaya. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well-paced. The tour also included fun stops at Daiso, Don Quijote, and Miyashita Park, which gave it a nice local feel beyond just the food. We also appreciated seeing some sights and learning about the culture along the way, including spots like Hachiko Square, Shibuya Crossing, and Nonbei Yokocho. This is definitely a pricier food tour, but it is worth every penny. The amount and quality of the food, thoughtful itinerary, and outstanding service made it one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high quality, memorable evening in Shibuya.

Samurai Training Tokyo Asakusa

Phillip_F, May 2025

Become a Certified Samurai

I would love to give 10 stars. Jyro and his assistant got us dressed up as samurai warriors. Full costume. Sword handling was demonstrated with real swords. Next, Sword handling and combat technique was demonstrated with actual size, plastic swords which were close to the real ones. We practiced sword moves and fighting. Really. Next, with wooden sword replicas we did some actual combat. Remember when you were a kid and played sword fighting. This was the real thing. The costumes were real. Lots of photos were taken with our own cameras and theirs. Got a SD card with their pix. This was an amazing experience. We were amazed at how much technique was taught and demonstrated. I have a photo ID that shows I am a “certified” Samurai.
