Our guide Patricia was well versed in the history of the area we visited / an interesting mix of shops ( 2nd hand upmarket ) shrine temples and a burial site !! The food stops were delicious and possibly things that we may never have ordered … most enjoyable but fairly busy on a Saturday.

It’s great to hear she could share some interesting history and introduce you to those unique spots – the food stops are definitely a fun surprise for many!

We really enjoyed our guide who was great at explaining Japanese culture and also giving us a perspective on how foreigners are treated in Japan. Great street food too and generally a really pleasant tour.

We enjoyed our tour with Erica. We had been in Japan on a cruise for a few days already, and she explained more about shrines and temples than our previous guides. The food places she took us too were tasty as well. She brought us to places we would not have know how or what to order on our own. Highly recommend to this tour to try various street foods.

Hi Stacey, thank you very much for your detailed review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the tour with us!

Perfect introduction to Nagoya. Our guide Lena spoke excellent English and showed us around Osu with a great good tour with a little history thrown in.we loved the karaage chicken, the bubble tea, the sweet curry paste on a stick, the melon pan was our favourite. Highly recommend this Osu Street Foodie Tour.

Wonderful foodie tour in Nagoya Osu district

Lorraine_H, Feb 2020

Lena led us on a fabulous 3 hours tasting our way through Osu district. We began at a temple and learned a bit of history as well as tasting delicious street foods of Osu. Every bite was delicious so come hungry. Can’t name a favourite but they all were yummy. Lenas English is perfect and we would recommend this tour for a wonderful day in Nagoya.
