Top Tokyo Street Food Tours

Kenny was amazing. She was super knowledgeable and warm and funny and knew all the right spots to go to and avoid the long lines of crowds. She had an incredible knowledge of history and culture, and honestly just made our day! Ask for Kenny when you book this tour. Fabulous

We met on one side of Shinjuku and walked over from side to the other side. Be ready to walk. Lloyd, who was our guide, did a good job giving this tour. At each stop gave a little history and briefing and we all got to try a variety of food from Shinjuku. We tried food from a Izakaya, pork cutlets from a historical restaurant , food from Okinawa cuisine and dessert. Overall four good choices.

Toshi is a very attentive tour guide. He communicates thoroughly before you start the tour, with exactly where to meet and what time to be there. He adheres to the Japanese Custom of arriving five minutes early. While meeting up with him, he made sure to confirm our dietary restrictions and also gauge our comfort level with certain foods before purchasing them or suggesting them. He also takes advantage of making small talk to ensure that the time is spent with engaging conversation and a bit of humor. One thing that we enjoyed was the pace. We did not feel rushed, and I got the impression that if we wanted to extend the tour, he would not proactively cut it short. One of the favorite things that we enjoyed was the quality of the picture he took of us. He really put effort into making sure that he not only captured you but the energy of the food market. When the Tour was ending, he would remember certain things that he offered to do, for example going with us to the subway station to buy tickets. Those things go a long way with me, especially coming from Los Angeles. The other thing that we liked was he made it clear that he did not want a tip or expect one. So we probably disrespected him by giving him a tip, but it was well deserved because we had a very good time.
