A friendly tour guide. We went at a leisurely pace. Enjoyed trying all the different kinds of Japanese foods. Learned some Japanese words

Brilliant and not to be missed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the market. Much to see and explore; so much easier with a guide to point out and show the specific sites and stalls that as a tourist would be so easy to miss. Mnori, our guide was fantastic. Her English was excellent and her knowledge both of food and historical background, exemplary. If you come to Kyoto, do this early so you can become familiar with the area which would put you in good stead for an enjoyable and productive trip. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Very good food tour

My wife and 2 teenage kids had a great experience on this food tour. Takuma was very knowledgeable and kind. You better come hungry for this one. There was so much food included in the tour no one left hungry. It was also nice having a guide for this tour due to the fact that there were some different rules in this market than other we have been to before. One was that you were supposed to eat inside the area where you purchased the food.
